Creating an effective poster

Adapted from work created by Eileen Egan-Lee and Brenda Mori, Centre for Faculty Development, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, St. Michael's, November 2006. Originally developed for use in the Education Scholars Program.

A poster presentation at a conference is a great way to share information about a work that is in progress or completed. It is also a great way to obtain feedback and have a dialogue with others about your project.
