 IMI YLC Showcasing Young Leaders Contests 

 

Showcasing Young Leaders is designed to allow our Leaders of tomorrow to display, share and celebrate their work as well as to help others learn how to promote professional/academic success and community engagement. IMI YLC incorporates opportunities to do so through both written and visual media:

 IMIYLC Poster Session  

 

The top 20 abstracts will be selected by review teams for special presentations. The 12 "Outstanding" abstracts will be placed on the program for engagement during Showcasing Young Leaders. The “Best” 3 posters out of these will be highlighted during the Closing Dinner.  Each author will be given 5 minutes to present.  

 

Eligibility

In order to be considered the following criteria must be met:

  • The abstract must be on one of the following topics:

    • Pitch a project: present your idea for a new IMI US/IMI Canada project/program.

    • Giving Back: Highlighting your current endeavors or ideas for social improvements and/or community engagement.

    • Goals, Motivations and/or Overcoming Challenges in achieving professional/personal success.

    • Health & Medicine: Basic Sciences, Case Studies/Clinical Vignettes, Health Policy.

  • The abstract may not exceed 500 words.

  • Each presenter must be a registered for IMI’s First North American Young Leaders’ Conference (IMI YLC) at the time of submission and in attendance at IMIYLC.

 

A poster session is designed to permit the author to explain and illustrate his/her project, concepts, techniques or research findings in a manner that will promote understanding more readily than does a "rapid fire" podium address. Authors must be present during the entire session, which will be moderated.

Format

  • Each poster presenter is required to pre-submit two slides (one data & one summary) to be shown during their 1-minute presentation.

  • The first 15 minutes of the 60-minute session will be for poster viewing. Roving facilitators will ask clarification questions of the presenters while they stand by their posters.

  • During the next 40 minutes each presenter will have 1 minute to present and 2 minutes for discussion.

  • The Facilitators will provide a 5-minute summary of the session at the conclusion of the session.
