Delivering Medicine Beyond Culture and Disciplines

Poster Presentation Guidelines

  1. Design your e-poster with an attractive outlook to (a) provide a brief overview of your work focusing on the objectives, hypothesis, academic progress and scientific merits of your project; and (b) initiate discussion and questions. Only cover the key points of your work.
  2. Your e-poster must adhere to the following specifications
    • File format: pptx only
    • Size in pixel: 1080 (w) x 1536 (h) – portrait orientation
    • Size in cm: 38.1 (w) x 54.2 (h) – portrait orientation
    • Font size: ≥16
    • Include text, diagram, figures and images only, do not add videos to your e-poster.
    • A PowerPoint template with the correct dimensions and recommended font sizes can be downloaded here.
    • Your e-poster should include a presentation audio track of no longer than 3 minutes on the most important scientific merits of your research projects.
    • Instruction on how to record a short audio file inside your e-poster can be referenced here.
  3. Make your e-poster as self-explanatory as possible.
  4. A few tips to keep your audio track interesting:
    • Have a bold opening – catch people’s attention and make them want to listen on.
    • Practice – your research can only be as good as it sounds, ask a friend to give feedback.
    • Share deeper insight – don’t just read the poster, what do you want to add to make people want to ask you a question?
    • Sound quality is key – good microphone, no background noise.
    • Keep it under 3 mins – adjudicators will not assess content after the 3-minute mark.
    • Enjoy sharing your work!
