- AACOM will not pay the expenses of poster presenters.
- The total size of your poster may not exceed the 4' by 4' poster board size.
How to submit your abstract. All abstracts must be submitted electronically through this site. The electronic form will call for a brief description (no more than 300 words) of the contents of the poster. The description should include the following and each section should be subtitled:
- Description of the problem or issue addressed
- Rationale or pertinence to medical education
- Description of the educational innovation or method used
- Summary of conclusions or implications
Deadlines for submission of abstracts. You will be notified by May 10, 2004 if your poster has been accepted for presentation at the reception. To facilitate this notification, YOUR ABSTRACT MUST BE ELECTRONICALLY RECEIVED BY April 30, 2004 , You or your representative must plan to attend the poster session to be available to discuss the poster with meeting attendees.
GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING THE POSTER FOR PRESENTATION
All posters must be able to stand on individual easels using a poster board that will be provided. The total size of your poster may not exceed the 4' x 4' poster board size. The poster may be mounted on rigid material or un-mounted sheets that can be pinned directly to the 4' x 4' poster board
- The poster header should include the title of the presentation, the authors, and their institutional affiliation.
- The exact title of the poster should be centered at the top of the abstract page in boldface up to 15 pt. maximum size.
- For uniform formatting, your abstract should be printed on an 8½ x 11" page format with 1" margins around. Author's names should be on a title page and not noted in the text. The text should be printed using 12 pt. Times New Roman typeface and be doubled-spaced. The text should not exceed one page with no more than one additional page for figures and/or tables
- Keep text and figure legends short, but do not omit them.
- Remember that illustrations must be readable from distances of three feet or more. You are strongly encouraged to use a typeface that is at least 1/4" high. Use Bold Type to ensure legibility. If you use smaller type, especially standard typewriter print, it will be extremely difficult to read the poster in its original or photo- reproduction form.
- Charts, drawings, and illustrations should be similar to those you would use in making slides. Try to keep everything as simple as possible. Captions should be brief; labels few but clear. Simple use of color can add emphasis effectively.
- Your poster should be self-explanatory. The viewer should be able to follow the main theme easily.
- Do not write or paint on the poster board.
