Background
Before you create your poster,
check to see if the conference
you are attending has specific
poster formatting requirements.
This template is for a standard
30 (h) X 40 (w). poster.
Objective/Aim
Results
Scan resolution on images should be at least 200 dpi at the actual size the image will
appear on the poster. A quick way to check the resolution of an image is to view at
200% on the slide.
To Add Tables or Graphs:
- To Insert graphs or tables from Microsoft Excel or Word, select the Insert menu,
point to Insert Object, click the appropriate application. Or COPY then PASTE
SPECIAL.
Methods
- Files from Non-Microsoft applications use SAVE AS or EXPORT to create a
PICT, TIF, or EPS file then insert into your PPT document - on the Insert menu,
point to Insert Picture, click From File.
Avoid monospaced and sansserif fonts like Helevetica and
Arial for the body text, since
they are more difficult to read
from a distance.
Try to have as much white space
as possible on a poster. Dark text
and white background is best for
posters.
Always include a brief list of
limitations. 2-4 is ideal for a poster.
Save images to be inserted into your poster as TIFF files (.tif); greyscale or RGB. Do
not copy and paste images directly onto your poster.
Body text of 36 point in Times
New Roman is ideal. Text
should not be smaller than 24 pt.
Baskerville, Century
Schoolbook and other serif fonts
are also good options since they
are easier to read.
Limitations
- Consider using TEAL, PURPLE or GREY to complement the cardinal reds in
your tables and figures.
Conclusions
Readers typically look at Conclusions
and Future Directions first before
deciding to look at the whole poster.
Make this compelling.
Future Directions
Consider including a brief list of 3-5
key references under your future
directions section. Key references
can include ACGME requirements,
white papers, or new AAP practice
or policy guidelines.
