• Final draft of the poster will be due by 12:00pm on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, send as PDF to peds-education@stanford.edu

Your Presentation

• Presentations should be 7-8 minutes long + 2-3 minutes for Q&A

• Use the poster to help you, but do not read off the poster the whole time

• Bring notes with you if that's helpful

• Project your voice- you will be outdoors and it will be hard for others to hear you. Other PIPS students will be speaking at the same time

• Every student will receive questions from the audience - this is part of being a researcher

• Practice, practice, practice!
