• To allow everyone to show their work, all presentations will be in a poster format only.
• Posters are welcomed to showcase public health research, practice, community engagement, innovative teaching, workforce development, and more!
• Everyone can select the poster template and the structure that best describes their creative work. We welcome artistry and imagination!
• The abstract submission allows for structured and unstructured abstracts. Choose the one that best describes the work that you want to share with your peers.
• It is okay to share work that is in development; this is a great opportunity to get feedback and ideas from colleagues and mentors.

• Students can submit posters that are not research posters (some examples could be practicum/internships, a mission/study abroad experience, community engagement). We want to hear about it!

• If you are not sure if your idea/work/experience is poster-worthy, please send us email to CPHResearch@uky.edu. We will be happy to discuss and provide guidance.
