Practicum Presentation Options

Poster Presentation Option (fall and spring semesters only)

Each student must demonstrate the ability to make a professional presentation to an informed audience in a competent manner. The poster presentation is one of two options for completing this requirement.

The poster presentation allows students an alternative format that may better accommodate their area of study and future practice.

A poster review committee will evaluate the posters during the poster presentation. Students are required to attend their posters during the entire evaluation session to answer questions of the members of the poster review committee and interested observers. 

The student's practicum preceptor is encouraged, but not required, to attend the poster presentation, which is open to other faculty, students and staff.

The poster presentation option is not offered during the summer semester.  To complete the Practicum course during the summer semester, students must make an oral presentation.

Students who choose the poster presentation should send a copy of the written report to the Practicum Office (email to mph-practicum@uiowa.edu) at least one week prior to the poster presentation date.

Students who choose the poster presentation option do not need to arrange for faculty involvement in the review committee or to take any forms to the presentation, but they should follow the guidelines below:
