General aim and format: A poster is a graphically based approach to presenting research or program information. In presenting your research/program with a poster, you should aim to use the poster as a means for generating active discussion.

Design, layout, and content recommendations

The poster size of 3 feet by 5 feet (36 in x 60 in) is recommended.
The poster is recommended to be oriented in the "landscape" position.
Text should be readable from five feet away. Use a minimum font size of 18 points.
A banner displaying your poster title, name, and department (or class, if appropriate) should be positioned at top-center of the board (see Figure 1).
Make it obvious to the viewer how to progressively view the poster. The poster generally should read from left to right, and top to bottom. Numbering the individuals panels, or connecting them with arrows is a standard "guidance system" (see Figure 1).
Leave some open space in the design. An open layout is less tiring to the eye and mind.
Make sure that any visual can "stand alone" (i. e., graph axes are properly labeled, maps have north arrows and distance scales, symbols are explained, etc.).
Make sure that the text and the visuals are integrated. Figures should be numbered consecutively according to the order in which they are first mentioned in the text.
Each visual should have a brief title (for example: Figure 1- Location of study area).
Depending upon the stage or nature of your project, the text could also include sections on future research plans or questions for discussion with viewers.
Cite and reference any sources of information other than your own.

Layout design for posters

Also, note the use of space between panels to achieve visual appeal. (from: C. W. Connor, 1992, The Poster Session: A Guide for Preparation: U. S.

Advanced Steps® (AS) ACP is initiated as a component of quality end-of-life care for frail elders and those whose death in the next 12 months would not be unexpected. The AS planning conversation is focused on goals of care to make timely, proactive, and specific end-of-life decisions. Ideally, these decisions are documented as medical orders that can be followed throughout the continuum of care. The Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment (POST) program is the nationally recognized model for this stage of planning.

Target Audience: The AS ACP Facilitator Certification course is intended for healthcare clinicians (nurses, social workers, chaplains, physicians) and others involved in assisting those with serious illness or frailty in making treatment decisions based on their goals of care.

Objectives

Describe the goals of AS, a POST Paradigm program.
Identify interview skills for facilitating LS conversations.
Identify skills to assist individuals in making informed treatment decisions that include CPR, limitations on treatment, and comfort care.
Develop strategies to create a POST form that accurately reflects an individual’s treatment preferences.
Identify systems to honor the POST plan.
Demonstrate beginning competency in facilitating LS conversations through role-play activities.
Initial Certification Requirements
Completion of the AS ACP Facilitator Certification Online Curriculum(Modules 1-4 and Module 5)
Completion of the AS ACP Facilitator Certification classroom training (8-hour classroom instruction)
