Call for Poster Presentations

MDAFP invites students and residents to submit a proposal for poster presentations. This is the easiest way to directly attract physicians to engage in conversation with you.

MDAFP's Education Committee is interested in topics on climate change, but all submissions will be accepted and reviewed.

This is a valuable opportunity to:

  • Present your research and showcase your hard work
  • Engage in meaningful conversations with practicing family physicians from across Maryland
  • Gain exposure, feedback, and grow your professional network in a supportive environment

Poster presentations will be held Saturday, February 28 from 4:30-5:30pm, as part of the Annual Meeting & Winter Refresher at the Graduate Annapolis Hotel. Please note that poster presentations can be repurposed from a previous presentation.

MDAFP is accepting proposals for presentations until December 1. If you have any questions, please email us or call (888) 894-2606.
