Session 13: Presenting Results -- Posters and Platform Presentations

This video covers “Presenting Results – Posters and Platform Presentations”, the thirteenth session in the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship Research Design Course, directed by Dr. Michael Mojica and Dr. Michael Tunik. This session provides a practical guide to preparing, presenting, and communicating research findings effectively at academic conferences.

Topics covered include:
• How to prepare structured abstracts for conference submission
• Understanding the SAEM abstract grading criteria and what reviewers look for
• Differences between posters and platform presentations, including hybrid and virtual formats
• How to design a successful poster—layout, content balance, and visual clarity
• Step-by-step guidance on poster construction and formatting for PAS, SAEM, and other major meetings
• Tips for poster sessions: presentation flow, networking, and engaging with attendees
• How to plan and deliver a platform presentation, from slide preparation to public speaking technique
• Managing presentation anxiety and handling audience questions with confidence
• Slide design best practices: fonts, colors, data display, and narrative flow
• Structuring presentations logically: introduction, methods, results, conclusions
• Presenting statistical results using effect sizes and confidence intervals rather than p-values
• How to summarize findings, discuss limitations, and articulate implications for practice

This session equips fellows with the communication and design skills needed to transform research findings into clear, engaging presentations for academic and professional audiences.
