QU ICK START

Zoom in and out As you work on your poster zoom in and out to the level

that is more comfortable to you.

Go to VIEW > ZOOM.

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).

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: See if your school’s logo is available on our free poster templates

page.

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.

Image Quality Check Zoom in and look at your images at 100% magnification. If they look good

they will print well.

The Arnold Melnick Child Advocacy Award was named after the founding dean of NSU's College of Osteopathic Medicine. The award was established by the NSUCOM Pediatrics Club and is presented each year to recognize individuals in South Florida who promote children’s causes.

This year we honored Dr. Lisa Gwynn, DO, who is the Medical Director for the University of Miami Pediatric Mobile Clinic/Children’s Health Fund South Florida Project and an Assistant Clinical Professor in Pediatrics at the University Of Miami Miller School Of Medicine.

The mission of the pediatric mobile clinic is to provide comprehensive medical and mental health care, social service assistance, and case management services, regardless of ability to pay, to underserved children and families. The clinic also strives to promote health education and healthy living in the communities served and to train future health care providers for careers which will reduce health care disparities.

We also include a current fourth year student who has matched into a Pediatric residency to discuss their recent application and interview process.

Halloween Events
