Poster presentations are a valued component of the professional life of a pharmacist, allowing presenters to share their research findings and innovative ideas with colleagues. However, flaws in the traditional poster design often limit the value of these poster sessions for both presenters and audience members. Presenters are challenged to present information in a way that balances attracting attendees to the poster and clearly conveying research findings. 1 Oftentimes, presenters are eager to share their research findings in detail, leading to complex, dense posters. 1 Audience members attend poster presentations with the intent of coming away with new ideas and information to incorporate into practice but often feel overwhelmed by the rows of text-saturated displays. These verbose posters, in addition to lengthy “elevator speeches,” limit the total number of posters audience members can consume during a session.

Due to the barriers identified, recent attention has focused on revamping the traditional poster format. 2 , 3 Several alternatives to the traditional poster, such as the Better Poster, Butter Poster, and “L” Poster, have been developed and are gaining popularity in an effort to make posters more engaging for the audience. These new designs introduce negative space, utilize a more concise presentation of ideas, and incorporate graphic design principles. Emphasizing typography and utilization of bright colors, with a summary of key points as text or an infographic, presents findings in a meaningful way. The purpose of this article is to outline and compare the differing poster formats and provide a resource to create more impactful posters.

The traditional poster design ( Figure 1a ) has been the dominant template displayed at poster sessions across different disciplines since the inception of the scientific poster. 4 As a result, presenters are comfortable with the creation of this type of poster, and preceptors have historically utilized this template to guide students and residents through the poster presentation process. The prevalence of this format ensures an abundance of resources to guide researchers in creating a traditional poster. Therefore, this design is likely the least time-consuming to create and will be perceived as an advantage by busy pharmacy students, residents, and practitioners.

Innovative poster designs strive to improve upon the traditional poster design (1a, top left) by emphasizing a main idea, as in the Better Poster (1b, top right); providing extra slides of additional information, as in the Butter Poster (1c, bottom left); and concentrating heavily on figures and images, as in the L-type poster design (1d, bottom right).

Familiarity with this poster format also extends to audiences, who easily recognize the template at conferences. The audience feels comfortable critically evaluating this type of poster and drawing conclusions about the research independent from the presenter’s verbal explanation. This design enables the methods and results sections to be more carefully critiqued for flaw or bias. Presentation skills, while still very important, are not essential to convey the message.

Structurally, the traditional poster allows for incorporation of detailed results to convey a greater portion of data to the audience. The design gives ample room for charts and graphs to visually display data while also allowing room to include text, in addition to an optional Quick Response (QR) Code (Denso Wave Incorporated, Agui, Japan) for additional information. It also mirrors the format of written publications, making it easier to incorporate poster information into a publication or vice versa.

There are disadvantages, however, to the traditional poster. This design was created to include all of the key elements of a research project but may not be as aesthetically pleasing as a result. Common feedback given to poster creators is that their poster is “too wordy.” The format is very rigid and may lead to important information being excluded if it does not easily fit the template.

The completeness of this poster presentation format requires less audience engagement, since viewers are able to read a comprehensive summary of the research on the poster itself. However, audience members may be overwhelmed while trying to interpret an excess of information and might miss the key takeaways of the poster. This also detracts from the presentation aspect of the poster presentation, as viewers do not need to interact with the presenter to understand all of the aspects of the poster.

The Better Poster design ( Figure 1b ) focuses on moving away from text-heavy posters with the goal of increasing audience engagement and understanding. 2 , 3 The Better Poster was created by Mike Morrison, a doctoral student at Michigan State University, who broke away from the traditional poster to disseminate key research findings in the scientific community in a more efficient way. 2 , 3 Following release of Morrison’s how-to YouTube video and press exposure, this poster format is gaining popularity with presenters who want to stand out at conferences with a bold, unique poster design that attracts the audience’s interest.

Compared to traditional academic posters, the Better Poster is simplified and highlights the main idea in a meaningful way. The main research finding is displayed prominently in a central section of the poster in a large, easy-to-read font. Study details, which may take up space as written statements on traditional posters, are instead linked through a QR Code listed underneath the main finding. The left side of the poster includes a structured abstract with abbreviated sections on the introduction, methods, results, and discussion. The purpose of the left side is to allow someone to read and learn about the study without having to engage with the presenter. The right side typically includes a section with key tables, figures, and/or graphs. This right-side section should also include any information the presenter may want to have readily available while discussing the poster.

This design fosters conversation about the research since it is eye-catching and visually unique. It forces presenters to focus on what is most important in sharing their findings. A disadvantage to this poster is that the tables, figures, and graphs are smaller. Therefore, presenters are limited with regard to the level of detail that can be included, as it can be difficult to visually see the results and data. The abbreviated abstract, while allowing the presenter the advantage of having a more engaged audience, could also make it harder for the audience to fully interpret the study if the presenter is not nearby.

Derek Crowe, a doctoral student in biomedical genetics at the University of Rochester, took inspiration from Morrison’s Better Poster and created his own poster design, the Butter Poster ( Figure 1c ). 5 Crowe’s background in visual communication and design led him to apply design tools such as a grid, visual hierarchy, white space, and typography to create his unique poster. 5

Like the Better Poster, the Butter Poster encourages presenters to distill their message and develop an eye-catching title to convey the basic message of the poster. Contrary to the Better Poster, the Butter Poster encourages presenters to utilize all available free space and formulate both short (30 seconds) and long (2 minutes) versions of the poster synopsis, or “elevator speech.” Short versions may simply highlight a graphical abstract while longer versions may involve a closer look at the data. The Butter Poster breaks information down into multiple, clearly defined “slides” that are able to accommodate variations in length and depth of presentation. A clear title, highlights section, summary section, and graphical abstract section provide adequate information for the audience to quickly review the poster, whether or not the presenter is present. The highlights set the stage for additional, in-depth sections of the poster, designed to tell their own story. Crowe encourages presenters to get to know their audience and tailor the presentation to the audience’s expectation, background, and level of engagement. The Butter Poster encourages the use of figures, tables, and graphics to display results. The smaller sections allow for more graphics than the traditional poster. QR Codes may also be incorporated into the design.

With this innovative poster, there are a few limitations. This is a more graphical and visually complex design that may challenge traditional audience expectations. Also, the text is smaller than in the traditional poster. Smaller text size requires a closer interaction with the poster and may limit the number of audience members who can effectively review the poster at one time. The freedom and flexibility of this design will not breed consistency between posters and will require audience members to orient themselves to each specific poster, which may be frustrating to audience members. This may also inhibit the audience’s ability to review the poster in a timely fashion. However, a clear elevator speech may mitigate this limitation. Due to the complex design and incorporation of more graphical abstracts and tables and/or figures, this poster may require more time to compose than other designs. Many of these limitations would be overcome through increased exposure to this poster.

The “L” Poster design ( Figure 1d ) was created to further improve the Better Poster concept by rearranging the display to provide a concise summary of the research project. 2 As in the Better Poster, the title is displayed prominently with the intent that the title will summarize the central take-home message of the poster for a viewer. Attendees can easily draw conclusions from the poster by using the succinct, informative title as a guide. 2

The name of the L Poster is derived from the design itself. In this poster type, the title (representing the main idea) is displayed in a large corner box, and the content of the poster is oriented in an L shape around the main idea. In comparison to the Better Poster, the design of this poster is less interrupted, and the flow of information from beginning to end is more apparent to viewers. This design will appeal to attendees who enjoy a more modern poster and can include QR Codes to link additional information. This design also allows the presenter to minimize information like funding, acknowledgments, or conflicts of interest, which are included for reference but may take space away from the main points of a traditional poster. 6

The images and diagrams included in the L Poster play a prominent role, as images are the preferred method for displaying research findings and results. Flow charts, pictures, and graphs aid the viewer in observing visual differences in the findings. These graphics also help attract attendees to the poster, creating an interesting focal point in a row of traditional posters.

Presenting the results as visual images does present some challenges, as not all research project results can be summarized within a graph or figure without any written explanation. When utilizing the L Poster, it may be important that the presenter stand close to the poster in order to offer further explanation, as viewers who are reviewing only visuals may misinterpret the findings. In addition, as the images are the central component of the poster, this poster type does not lend itself well to research projects wherein the results cannot be presented visually.

The traditional poster format provides familiarity and detail, but presenters may wish to consider the merits of an alternative poster design when preparing for their next conference. The traditional format is recognizable, easier to develop using published resources, and provides a detailed review of all aspects of the study design and findings. Conversely, the format is not as aesthetically pleasing, may be overly verbose, and can be less engaging for audiences. The Better Poster highlights the main idea, sparks conversation, and is eye-catching, but limited detail and smaller graphs and/or tables are potential drawbacks. The Butter Poster emphasizes the main message, allows for short and long elevator speeches, and provides a heavier focus on graphics. However, the smaller text and greater variability in design could detract from audience comprehension. The L Poster provides a concise summary and a clear flow of information where images play a central role. This focus on visual imagery necessitates the presenter be near the poster to explain details to the audience.

Using a nontraditional format may feel risky for some. Presenters want their work to stand out but also want to avoid it looking out of place. Residency program directors and conference organizers can play a key role in promoting acceptance and utilization of these novel poster formats. Adding nontraditional poster templates to the standard institutional poster template can help these new designs to gain popularity and more general use.

When deciding amongst these diverse poster formats, discuss with your research project team which poster design would be most appropriate for the type of study question, audience, and time allotment for the poster session. Would the traditional poster, Better Poster, Butter Poster, or L Poster best represent your research and enhance your poster experience? The careful selection of poster design format can dramatically affect the viewers’ perception of your project and help you reach your goal of making your poster stand out from the crowd.

How to Generate an Effective Poster

Tips for Effective Poster Presentations

Get your message across with effective visual displays of data and small blocks of supporting text.  Think of your poster as an illustrated abstract.

Tell readers why your work matters , what you did , what you found , and what you recommend .  This is significance, methods, results and conclusions and future directions.  Avoid excessive focus on methods – it’s the results and conclusions that count!

Overall appearance.  Use a pleasing arrangement of graphics, text, colors.  Your poster should be neat and uncluttered – use white space to help organize sections.  Balance the placement of text and figures. 

Organization.  Use headings to help readers find what they’re looking for: objective, results, conclusions, etc.  A columnar format helps traffic flow in a crowded poster session.

Minimize text – use graphics.  Keep text in blocks of no more than 50-75 words – don’t create large, monolithic paragraphs of prose.  Use ‘bullets’ instead of lengthy text.  Text size.  All text should be large enough to read from 1-2 meters , including the text in figures .  Title should be larger, to attract attention from far away. Sans serif fonts (arial) read easiest.

Use color cautiously.  Dark letters on light background are easiest to read.  Keep contrast high – don’t use pastels.  Stick to a theme of 2-3 colors, or perhaps only black and white.

Have your poster flow from top to bottom (first), then left to right.

Prepare a 3-5 minute verbal explanation. Some people will ask you to “walk me through your poster.”  In making such a presentation, don’t read the poster.  Instead, give the big picture, explain why the problem is important,  and use the graphics on your poster to illustrate and support your findings and recommendations.

Focus on relationships – exact values are usually not important.

Clean graphs show data clearly!  Eliminate “chart junk” to keep focus on data.  Grid lines, detailed ticks on axes, data markers, and grey background are not needed.   Label data lines directly, when possible.

Legends force reader to look back and forth to decode graph.  Try to have all the info you need on the figure itself and just have a title for the figure and no legend.  The figure title might best be the conclusion derived from the data.

Posters are tri-fold, 3′ high x 4′ wide.  

You can print out your figures and the text panels and use double-sided tape to attach.  The sheets here are standard 8.5″ x 11″

This is just a suggestion for organization. You should work with your mentor to realize a final presentation.

Alexandria, Va., April 4, 2023  — AMCP Foundation and CVS Health announced the recipients of AMCP Foundation’s Best Poster Awards at AMCP 2023. This semiannual competition culminates twice per year at AMCP national meetings, with awards for new practitioners presented in three categories. 

“The insightful and innovative studies showcased by this year’s awardees are indicative of a bright future for managed care pharmacy,” said Paula J. Eichenbrenner, MBA, CAE, AMCP Foundation executive director. “Our awardees showcased ingenuity and impressed our judges with their understanding of real-world evidence principles.” 

Congratulations to the honorees for their important contributions to evidence-based medicine. 

Best Poster Presentation by a Graduate Student:   Bilqees Fatima, PharmD, MPhil, PhD Candidate at University of Houston, College of Pharmacy, Houston, TX: “ Patterns of Direct Oral Anticoagulant (DOAC) Adherence After Composite Outcome(s) Among Older Adults with Atrial Fibrillation. ” 

Concerned with suboptimal DOAC adherence and worsening patient outcomes, Dr. Bilqees mapped adherence trajectories of DOACs during a one-year follow-up period after a clinical event. Her retrospective cohort analysis included continuously enrolled Medicare Advantage adults diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and prescribed a DOAC after a clinical event. Follow-up showed ~62% patients on non-adherent trajectories (PDC<0.80). Factors associated with non-adherence to DOACs included: low-income subsidy, NSAID use, DOAC type, CAD, age, and >1 cardiac or bleeding episode during follow-up. Her research invites creative interventions to address non-adherence to optimize patient outcomes. 

Best Poster Presentation by a Resident or Fellow: Adaeze Amaefule, PharmD, Health Economics and Outcomes Research Fellow at Jefferson College of Population Health, Philadelphia, PA: “ Prevalence of Major Depressive Disorder and Medication Adherence: A Multi-Employer Payer Perspective. ”  

Dr. Amaefule’s retrospective claims analysis estimates medication adherence and health care resource utilization (HCRU) for commercially insured adult enrollees diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD) and prescribed antidepressant medication. Claims data showed that the majority of MDD patients were female and aged 40-49 years. Meanwhile, non-adherent patients, identified by PDC <80%, were female (53.7%) and aged ≤ 29 years (65.5%). Prevalence of MDD among commercially insured individuals may be low, but these findings point to the sub-populations that will likely benefit most from efforts to increase adherence.  

Best Poster Presentation by a Student Pharmacist: Yuqi Lan, PharmD Candidate at University of Washington School of Pharmacy, Seattle, WA: “ Pharmacist-led Quality Improvement Project to Improve Patient Adherence to Their Antidepressant Medications in Ambulatory Care Setting. ” 

Aiming to improve a local health center’s antidepressant adherence rate, Mr. Lan conducted a 6-month quality improvement study. Pharmacists and interns provided adherence counseling and refill reminders to patients on antidepressant therapy. Aligning study metrics with the antidepressant medication management HEDIS Measure, the acute phase adherence goal was higher than the continuous phase (60% vs. 45%). Despite not achieving goal rates, both phases observed increased patient adherence. Mr. Lan’s research supports patient engagement and emphasizes the potential for pharmacist-led interventions to improve outcomes. 

Since 2002, AMCP Foundation's Best Poster Competition has allowed student pharmacists and new practitioners to demonstrate analytic proficiency, poster development, and technical skills. AMCP Foundation also periodically invites established researchers to compete for topical Best Poster Awards.  

The Best Poster Awards at AMCP 2023 were made possible by funding partner CVS Health, the Journal of Managed Care & Specialty Pharmacy, the Best Poster judges, and research preceptors who support AMCP Foundation's efforts to recognize future pharmacists and new practitioners conducting transformative research.

7 Tips to Deliver a Successful Presentation

Presentations can be nerve-racking, but with the right tools, they can be mastered

Presentations can be nerve-racking, but with the right tools, they can be mastered.

Here are a few tips for pharmacy students and practicing pharmacists:

1 . Practice

Presenting to yourself ahead of time will build your confidence, help you become more familiar with the material, and calm your nerves. When you hear yourself speaking out loud, you can vary your tone and speed to get through the slide deck in the allocated time while emphasizing specific words you want to get across to the audience.

Once you’ve practiced on your own a few times, present it to a peer for feedback.

2. Check Content and Format

First, have a title slide with your name, in case your audience didn’t catch it when you introduced yourself.

Second, have clear objectives with your audience in mind. Ask yourself, “What are the main things I want them to learn from this?” Those focused objective points should act as checkpoints in relating information while making the presentation clear and simple.

Third, your slides should be organized with bullet points, easy to read with a minimum size 24 font, straight to the point, and logically presented. Try to avoid overcrowding, small font, and typos because they can distract your audience.

Fourth, incorporate images, tables, or diagrams as appropriate to engage your audience. Constant text on a screen can become repetitive and boring.

3 . Use Appropriate Presenting Style

Know what you’re talking about

Choose a topic you’re interested in so you appear enthusiastic and well informed, but don’t read each slide word for word. Good presenters can glance at a point made on a slide and expand from there while still reiterating the information presented. This will demonstrate you’re comfortable and knowledgeable about the subject.

Connect with the audience through sound

Your audience members may not always look at you, but they’re still listening. Enunciating words appropriately and varying your speed and volume can help refocus them while emphasizing certain points. Whenever you’re collecting your thoughts, try to substitute an “um” with a brief pause.

Stand with confidence

Your posture and demeanor should be professional and exude confidence. Try to keep your shoulders up and relaxed with a straight back. Avoid leaning on walls or resting elbows on a podium, as this can convey disinterest.

Make eye contact

This is an important way to connect with audience members, gain feedback on whether they’re interested or bored, and re-engage them as best as you can.

4 . Ask Questions

Ask questions throughout the presentation, or at least at the end of it. This is a nice addition to promote audience engagement and re-enforce your objectives or important information.

Sometimes, you may forget that when you’re giving a presentation, you’re still in a conversation that’s simply using different forms of communication. In a typical conversation, one individual speaks while another listens. With that said, the audience gives you plenty of time to speak, so you must give them a turn.

Be open to hearing their thoughts, especially in a nonaggressive way. Put yourself in their shoes and answer their questions in a way you’d want a presenter to answer yours. If you don’t know the answer to a question, be honest about it.

5 . Provide References

At the end of your slide deck, make sure to include sources used and cite them properly with AMA, MLA, or any appropriate citation format. This helps demonstrate professionalism and prevent plagiarism.

The font for references may be smaller than the rest of your slides, and subscripts can be used throughout to indicate a specific reference if needed. Make sure to also cite images and tables appropriately.

6. Be Prepared

Night before

It’s always better to be safe than sorry when presenting because you never know what may happen. Put your presentation on a USB and check to make sure the file is there. You may also want to e-mail the presentation to yourself as backup.

First impressions matter and can make a big impact, so plan to arrive early, smile, introduce yourself, and dress professionally.

7 . Calm Your Nerves

Here are some quick pointers to try:

• The night before or early before presenting, watch a funny video clip or read an inspirational quote to help dissipate your nerves.
• Give yourself a quick motivational pep talk in the mirror, like, “I can do this and will do this.”
• Listen to an upbeat song or your favorite one.

Overall, you want to put yourself into a good mood and positive attitude where you aren’t thinking about how nervous you are.

Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Commencement 2024: Accomplishment through resilience

Graduates, families cherish the big moment together.

• share via twitter

• share via email

​Through loud cheers and happy tears, the fourth Doctoral Hooding Ceremony for Binghamton University’s School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences was a day to remember. Nearly 100 students received either a Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences degree or a Doctor of Pharmacy degree on Thursday at the Anderson Center’s Osterhout Theatre.

Dean Kanneboyina Nagaraju started the ceremony by saying there are many reasons to congratulate our new Doctor of Pharmacy and Master of Science graduates.

“You have accomplished a great deal in a short period. You have shown fantastic resilience as you adapted to changes in the delivery of instruction and changes at clinical rotation sites,” he said. “You grasped the many ways technology is used for skills education, research and capstone projects, but you also learned the value of communication with your faculty, fellow students and preceptors.”

Nagaraju highlighted the many achievements this cohort accomplished during their time at Binghamton.

“Your class has the highest number of residency (25 and counting) and fellowship placements (10) of any graduating class,” he said. “The largest number of capstone research poster presentations at ASHP and NYSCHP meetings. Some of you have your own prestigious national, regional and university-level awards for your training and research excellence. It is remarkable that your cohort has published a significant number of peer-reviewed papers.”

Nagaraju left the class with a boost of confidence: “Your h ard work has paid off, and now you are prepared to change the face of the pharmacy profession, whether at the local, state or national level.”

President Harvey Stenger picked up where Nagaraju left off, saying, “You don the traditional garb that sets you apart as scholars and scientists—the gown and hood that signal the wearer has achieved mastery of their subject matter and has produced new knowledge in your field.”

He called the graduates “pioneers” because this cohort is Binghamton’s fourth graduating class of PharmDs and second graduating class of master’s recipients the school has produced.

“What you do next is important in that you’ve paved the way for the many generations of students who are going to follow in your footsteps,” Stenger said. “So, today, as we recognize the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences’ Class of 2024, know that I am incredibly proud of all that you have accomplished. I look forward to learning of your many future successes.”

Before starting his speech, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Donald Hall took a moment to recognize Nagaraju, who recently received the rank of distinguished professor, the highest rank bestowed on faculty by the State University of New York. He then returned to the graduates, once again highlighting the effect that the pandemic had on education and how these graduates overcame it.

“We are all living in a different world since the pandemic upended our lives, but your Binghamton education and experiences will serve you well, whether you choose to work in a community or hospital setting or elsewhere in the pharmaceutical industry,” Hall said. “As newly minted masters and doctors of pharmacy, you are leaving us with a strong foundation in your discipline. You have honed your critical-thinking, decision-making and communication skills, and you have completed rigorous clinical rotations and a capstone research project that will give you an edge as you pursue your pharmacy career.”

Keynote speaker Michelle J. Schwartz spoke on the power these new graduates have and their ability to shape the future of pharmacy.

“ Know that your pharmacy degree equips you with the expertise, critical-thinking skills and ethical foundation to shape the future of medicine on a grand scale. Your training in entrepreneurism and innovation played a critical role in preparing you to address the rapid growth in biomedical and pharmaceutical startup companies to consult and advise venture capitalists, law firms, the financial service industry and policy thinkers in this country.”

Alumni Association President Cara Treidel welcomed the new graduates into the Binghamton University alumni community, one that stretches around the world.

“By graduating today, you are automatically a member of this community — the Alumni Association,” she said. “In addition to the friends you made here on campus, you have a worldwide network of alumni that you can tap into: more than 150,000 people across more than 100 countries. Wherever you go, there is likely to be a Binghamton grad who can offer support, answer questions or chat about shared Binghamton experiences.”

Class of 2024 graduate student speaker Paul Puccio reflected on his time with classmates at Binghamton and how they are all starting a new part of their lives.

“After today, your chapters as students will finally close as you embark on your next journey in life,” Puccio said. “Wherever it may take you, never forget where you came from, your journey to the top and those you met along the way. You will often hear quotes like: ’Life is a journey, not a destination’ or ’Wisdom comes with age.’ During my short time here on Earth, I have overcome many obstacles, laughed and loved, fought and have been heartbroken. And yet, I still stand here today. The best part is that every one of us has gone through something similar.”

Puccio ended by reciting “Meditation,” a poem written by Chief Tecumseh, a Shawnee warrior and leader who fought in the War of 1812 and sought to unite all Native American tribes.

Oluwafemi Popoola, PharmD ’21, wrapped up the ceremony by leading the 2024 cohort through the Oath of a Pharmacist. The ceremony concluded with Nagaraju leading the audience and 2024 graduates singing the Binghamton University alma mater.
