How to add Text The template comes with a number of pre-formatted placeholders for headers
and text blocks. You can add more blocks by copying and pasting the existing
ones or by adding a text box from the HOME menu.
Text size Adjust the size of your text based on how much content you have to present. The
default template text offers a good starting point. The text should not be less than
28 points.
How to add Tables To add a table from scratch go to the INSERT menu and
click on TABLE. A drop-down box will help you select rows and
columns.
You can also copy and a paste a table from Word or another PowerPoint
document. A pasted table may need to be re-formatted by RIGHT-CLICK >

QUICK START
Title, Authors, and Affiliations Start designing your poster by adding the title, the names of the authors, and the
affiliated institutions. You can type or paste text into the provided boxes. The
template will automatically adjust the size of your text to fit the title box. You can
manually override this feature and change the size of your text.
TIP: The font size of your title should be bigger than your name(s) and institution
name(s). The smallest font size should be 28 points.
Adding Logos / Seals Most often, logos are added on each side of the title. You can insert a logo by
dragging and dropping it from your desktop, copy and paste or by going to
INSERT > PICTURES. Logos taken from web sites are likely to be low quality
when printed. Zoom it at 100% to see what the logo will look like on the final
poster and make any necessary adjustments.
TIP: If there is a conference website, you can pull logos from there. Please
keep in my that we will be adding navigational buttons or a kiosk menu button on
the right side of the slides. Please make the appropriate space for that.
Photographs / Graphics You can add images by dragging and dropping from your desktop, copy and
paste, or by going to INSERT > PICTURES. Resize images proportionally by
holding down the SHIFT key and dragging one of the corner handles. For a
professional-looking poster, do not distort your images by enlarging them
disproportionally.

The objective of the Underserved
Youth Medical School Outreach (UYMSO)
Program is to increase exposure to
medicine and increase competency in
basic medical principles for students
enrolled in middle school and high school
in underserved schools in the Denver area.
Students completed an informative,
educational, and enjoyable day at Rocky
Vista University College of Osteopathic
Medicine – Colorado (RVUCOM-CO) with
carefully scheduled stations where
students were exposed to the basics of
getting into medical school, CPR,
ultrasound, suturing, and human anatomy.
All stations were carefully and intentionally
designed by former science teachers who
have created curriculum for classrooms
students in the past. Students completed
anonymous pre and post surveys to gauge
their understanding of both the road to
medical school acceptance and the basics
of CPR, ultrasound, suturing and human
anatomy.
As investigators, we hypothesize, with
careful control of surveys and procedures,
that students who complete the
UYMSO curriculum at RVUCOM-CO will
demonstrate an increased competency in
basic science principles, will display
increased interest in medicine, and
will report an increased confidence in their
ability to become physicians.

METHODOLOGY
Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine, Parker, Colorado
Student doctors Jessica McArthur and Joseph Nathanson designed the UYMSO program for middle
and high school students consisting of four stations. Students enter the building and are fitted for a white
coat for the day and given a passport to keep track of their activities. They take white coat pictures and fill
out a pre-survey. Next, they engage in four science skills stations, eagerly working to complete their
passports. After they finish the four stations, they are taken on a tour of the RVUCOM-CO campus. Last,
they take a post-survey and leave with an RVU goodie bag.
Stations
CPR
Students are taught the basics of CPR
including compression technique, breath
compression ratio, and steps to take in
order to help someone requiring CPR.
They are then given time to practice on
CPR dummies with a partner. Figure 1.
Ultrasound
Students are split into small groups and
shown different components of the
abdomen, chest, and eye. They
are taught the basics of ultrasound
including different probes to use, coloring
of various structures, and techniques on
how to explore different parts of the body.

Suture Clinic
A student doctor demonstrates suturing
techniques on a banana peel. Students
are then paired with a student doctor to
practice suturing and knot-tying. Figure 3.
Anatomy Lab
Student doctors lead stations on the
heart, brain, lungs, and spinal cord.
Students rotate with a small group
through different stations, learn the
basics of each organ, and are able to
touch and hold the organs. Figure 4.

PRELIMINARY RESULTS
IMPLICATIONS
Our results suggest that the UYMSO program can have an immediate, positive impact on
underserved Denver youth. Exposure to medicine in a strategically planned set of stations showed to
increase science competency as well as interest and confidence in a future in medicine. We plan to
further develop this program to reach more underserved youth in their critical teenage years in hopes to
increase the number of underserved children pursuing a medical career.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
REFERENCES
We currently have over 200 students
scheduled to participate in the UYMSO
program this year with more schools pending.
We are increasing our sample size to further
confirm the success of our program in providing
a fun, transformative day for underserved youth
of the Denver area. We are developing our
curriculum into scripted lesson plans and
working with OMS I student leaders to keep
each station consistent and make the program
sustainable for years to come. We also plan to
share our ideas with like-minded medical
students across the country in order to further
spread the impact of this program on
our underserved youth.
Surveys
The pre-survey has a series of questions about
their exposure to medicine, interest in medicine,
as well as questions about the topics they would
learn that day. The post-survey asked identical
questions to assess the effectiveness in the
program in exciting them about medical school
as well as teaching them various skills and
concepts.
Passport
Each student receives a passport booklet with a
list of skills and facts to demonstrate during the
four stations. Each item must be signed off by a
student doctor. If the student completes all the
items by the end of the day, they are put into a
raffle for a gift card. The purpose of the passport
is to focus on key take-aways from each station
and increase overall student engagement.
Tour
Student doctors lead the students around the
campus and converse about the journey to
medical school. Students are shown the
anatomy lab, clinical skills lab, auditoriums,
cafeteria, and more. They talk about classes to
take in high school and college, as well as the
hard work and dedication required to pursue a
career in medicine. Further, students are
encouraged to ask questions about what it’s like
to be a medical student during this time.
Goodie Bags
At the end of the program, students were given
bags with a framed white coat photo and other
RVU memorabilia.
Results were statistically significant showing that students demonstrated increased competency in
basic science principles, improving from an average of 25% to 82% overall and increased interest and
confidence in the pursuit of medicine as a career, increasing over 1.3 points on a 5-point Likert scale.
For science competency, the scores of the pre-survey (M = 1.96 (25%), SD = 1.04, n = 26) were
hypothesized to be lower than the scores of the post-survey (M = 6.54 (82%), SD = 1.48, n = 26). This
difference was significant, t (50) = -12.93, p = 7.16E-18 (one-tail). Specifically, shown in Figure 5, are
the results are broken down by topic.
Further, shown in Figure 6, the scores of the Confidence in Career in Medicine scale pre-
survey (M = 2.93, SD = 1.05, n = 10) were hypothesized to be lower than the scores of the interest and
confidence scale post-survey (M = 6.30, SD = 1.95, n = 10). This difference was significant, t(18) = -
6.14, p = 4.21E-06 (one-tail).
