Poster presentations are an excellent way to share knowledge and expertise, as well as give credit for a job well done. Successful presenters make their audience enthusiastic about the topic being presented.
A poster abstract is generally submitted in narrative form, without visual aids. Therefore, it is a good idea to start by choosing a catchy title. It should stand out from the many abstracts that will be received. For example, would you most remember, “Analysis of evidence-based data to justify department expansion,” or “Departmental expansion: Gathering evidence to promote education!”
Describe your project concisely, relying on major points of interest. You’ll only have a limited number of words to do this, so cover information such as the purpose of the project, highlights of its implementation, and outcomes. If you have templates, tools, or forms that are original and important to the success of the project, describe them briefly.
Committees reviewing abstracts will want to be able to quickly grasp the essentials of your project, how it will add to the body of knowledge of the participants, and what unique or original outcomes resulted. Also include important information participants will be able to take away from your poster and use in their own practice settings.
