Poster Presentation Speaker Resources
Poster Presentation Speakers
Congratulations on the acceptance of your poster abstract!
To be included in the conference program, please complete the following items by Monday, June 9:
Complete Your Disclosure Form
All speakers must complete their online disclosure form to be included in the program.
Poster Printing and Submission
AMRPA will be ordering (and covering the cost) for all posters to be printed and shipped to the venue. To ensure your poster is included in the group order, you must email a copy of your presentation in PDF or PowerPoint format (10 MB maximum file size) to AMRPA staff at [email protected] by Monday, September 1.
Your poster should be formatted in the landscape orientation at a size of 48” x 36”. If you need help designing your poster, a free Scientific Poster template from PosterNerd may be a helpful place to start. They also offer tutorials on Scientific Poster (1) sections & organization, (2) layout & design and more.
A few helpful tips for organizing your poster:
Aim for Clarity and Readability
Make sure your poster is understandable without an oral presentation and readable from five feet away. Your poster may be on display when you are not in attendance, so you want your audience to walk away with an understanding of your information even if you aren’t there.
Keep Visual Balance in Mind
Make an initial rough layout, paying attention to the proportions of figures, tables, and text. Try to maintain a balance of using ~50% of the poster board area for figures and tables.
A Good Poster Is Like a Good Paper
Include your objective, the design/methods, the results, and the conclusion, but avoid displaying a short manuscript. Details should be concise. Tables and conclusions should be clearly stated. (Think about the message you want the audience to remember, and what is the best way to arrange the information to make sure they understand the message.)
Keep It Simple
Do not overload your poster with excessive text and data. Where possible, organize tables and figures chronologically in vertical progression. (Remember your audience: what do they know about your research? What do they want to know?)

ACCME Requirements
Please read the following pertinent ACCME requirements regarding your presentation:
Information for Learners. Information on needs, expected results, and purpose or objectives will be provided to learners by AMRPA. These will be framed in terms of physician change or health status improvement which is in keeping with our CME mission.
Content Validation. AMRPA expects that all of its CME activities will adhere to the ACCME’s content validation value statements. Specifically, all the recommendations involving clinical medicine in a CME activity must be based on evidence that is accepted within the profession of medicine as adequate justification for their indications and contraindications in the care of patients. All scientific research referred to, reported or used in CME in support or justification of a patient care recommendation must conform to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection and analysis. Please contact AMRPA if you do not feel your presentation can meet these standards.
Safeguards against Commercial Bias. AMRPA expects that the content or format of CME activities and related materials will promote improvements or quality in healthcare and not a specific proprietary business interest of a commercial interest. We employ several strategies to ensure the absence of commercial bias and you are integral to their successful implementation.
- We will be disclosing to our learners before the activity whether or not you have relevant financial relationships. If, on the basis of the information you provide, we determine that you have relevant financial relationships with commercial interests that create a conflict of interest with respect to your role in this activity, together we will determine and document a strategy or strategies to resolve that conflict of interest.
- We also remind you that CME must give a balanced view of therapeutic options. Use of generic names will contribute to this impartiality. If your CME educational material or content includes trade names, trade names from several companies should be used where available, not just trade names from a single company.
Measurements of Effectiveness. AMRPA will be seeking feedback from the learners on the effectiveness of this CME activity through evaluations. We will be seeking information on what changes the learners will make as a result of the presentations (oral and posters).
Educational Materials. Educational materials that are a part of this activity, such as slides and published abstracts cannot contain any advertising, trade names, or product-group messages.
