For the Special Populations E-Poster: 

Students will prepare an E-Poster presentation describing  the characteristics of their assigned vulnerable population, social  determinants of health, epidemiology, incidence, health care access for  their specific population assigned, possible sources of education, and  population-focused advocacy activities for this group.

E- poster Information:

An  e-poster is just a poster that has columns or different sections for  your content.  So, you have to be very particular about what is put on  the poster, or at least in each area.  I am including a 3 column  e-poster template, and a 4 column template for you to use for your  special populations assignment (you may choose either one for your  project).

Design Tips

To create a successful poster:

Simplify everything. Keep text short.

Never set whole sentences in capitals or underline; instead, use bold type sparingly.

When laying out your poster, leave plenty of breathing space around your text and images. Don’t overcrowd your poster.

Try using photographs or colored graphs.

Sample Layouts for Images & Captions

How to Add Images & Diagrams

Go through the menus as follows: Insert / Picture / From File…

Find the file on your computer, select it, and press OK.

Be aware of image size and resolution.

For photos, 300 dpi is a guideline. Save as TIFF or JPEG (preferably TIFF). Images containing only lines/objects (vector drawings) should be 450 dpi and saved as PDF (or GIF or TIFF if necessary).

Do not use images from the web (resolution is typically too low to print well).

Graphs: You can produce graphs in Excel or directly in PowerPoint. Graphs done in a scientific
