title: [Poster presentations].
abstract: Posters have become an essential tool for dissemination of study findings at medical meetings. By presenting a quick snapshot, posters can be an effective means of communicating the main findings of the research quickly and of stimulating rewarding exchanges with the people in attendance. Success depends on catching and holding the attention of passing attendees long enough to establish contact and share knowledge and experience. The purpose of this article is to provide a few guidelines and techniques for preparing and presenting effective and clear research posters at scientific meetings.
