So I've had a few Abstracts accepted to national and regional meetings. I was told by my PI that I should list these as "Published Abstracts". When I look under ERAS for this option I see "Peer Reviewed Journal Articles/Abstracts". The required fields to be filled include:

Journal Article(s)/Abstract(s) Title: *
Author(s): *
Publication Name: *
PMID: ( Publication Med-Line Unique Identifier )
Volume: *
Issue No: *
Pages: * (eg. 200-212)
Month: *
Year: *

Since this was at a conference, there is no volume, issue #, etc. associated with the accepted Abstract. Should I be listing this elsewhere? Technically it is a peer-reviewed and accepted abstract that was published in the event program, but obviously I don't want to place this somewhere incorrectly and be viewed in a poor light as incompetent/padding/whatever. TIA
 
Sometimes abstracts are published in a supplemental issue. You could use that. Otherwise, use "S" or "A" for the volume and issue and see if there is an area to write in a short explanation such as "Abstract presented at American College of Physicians Annual Meeting."

I have an abstract published in a supplement, but it is not on PubMed so there is no PMID. Is it okay to leave this section blank?

What does S or A stand for?
 
as an oral/poster presentation or a peer-reviewed published abstract?

My understanding is that accepted abstracts go under peer reviewed articles/ abstracts (either as accepted or published, whatever the case) and then if you also have the presentation they also go under oral/ poster presentation, whichever is the case. Seems redundant to me, but that's how I was told to list it. I guess the other benefit is that you still get credit for accepted/ published abstracts even if you were not the one who delivered the presentation.
