INTRODUCTION
RESULTS
DISCUSSION (Continued)
In the introduction section you describe
the purpose of your poster presentation.
Describe the importance of the topic,
why the reader should bother to read this
poster, and briefly summarize the
poster’s focus.
What was the patient’s response to your
treatment? Can you objectively quantify
their response with outcome assessment
pre and post forms? Were there pre and
post laboratory, imaging, or other type of
findings?
Why do you think that the patient would
not have gotten better on their own
without treatment or that some other
treatment they received was not the
reason for their response to care? What
are the limitations to your study?
CONCLUSION
CASE REPORT INFORMATION
This is the place where you share the
patient’s gender, age, and any pertinent
information. Why did they come to you
for treatment, is there any unusual
information about this patient, and any
prior or current treatment they received?
INTERVENTION/TREATMENT
What treatment did the patient receive at
your clinic? How long and how many
treatments were rendered? Were any
unusual tests performed and did they
guide treatment?
Summarize your whole poster in a
sentence. How could future studies be
improved and how is this one a call for
further research?
REFERENCES
A brief caption under a picture is helpful.
DISCUSSION

had the purported effect on the patient
