MORE INFO ON LAST YEAR'S EVENT including Poster Examples

Poster and Event Details:

Poster Preparation:  
Most posters should include the following sections: background / introduction, aim statement, methods, results, conclusion / discussion. Representing data with run charts is strongly encouraged when appropriate. Interventions, when employed, should be adequately and concisely described. Graphics should be used instead of words when able, and the overall number of words should be minimized to what is absolutely necessary in order to improve readability. 

The display area available for each poster is approximately 6 feet by 6 feet.  Posters should be sized smaller than this to fit comfortably.  We suggest a poster size no greater than 42 inches by 5 feet.  

You will need to submit a PDF of your poster by May 17, 2020. 

Prizes:  
Three $500 prizes will be awarded to the top scoring posters. 

Evaluation Criteria: 
  • Title and aim statement. Is the topic and scope clear? Is an aim statement referenced that includes SMART criteria (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound)?
  • Data utilized. Does the project utilize appropriate measure(s) to define the problem and gauge the effectiveness of the intervention? Is data collected both before and after any interventions?
  • Intervention employed. Does the project include an intervention? Is a rationale given for the choice of intervention? Is it sufficiently described? Are results of the intervention described?
  • Visual clarity and impact of the poster. Does the poster effectively communicate the relevant aspects of the project?
  • Presentation effectiveness. Does the presenter effectively summarize their project? Do they appropriately answer questions that are asked? 

Evaluation Format:  
Each group will consist of 4 to 6 presenters, and one judge. Each presenter will take turns presenting their poster to the other group members and the judge. You will have 5 minutes to present your poster, and 3 minutes to take questions. This will continue until each group member has had a chance to present their poster to the rest of the group. 

Attendance: 
At a minimum, we require your attendance during the entire poster competition portion of the event. That being said, we strongly encourage you to stay for as much of the evening as possible, which will include a short talk, opportunities to meet other students, residents, fellows, faculty, and hospital leadership, as well as complimentary food and drink (both alcoholic and non).
