Welcome back to The Peds NP Acute Care Faculty series! This series was created and peer-reviewed by national leaders in acute care PNP education collaborating with one another to meet the needs of our current and future colleagues. In the push for competency-based education where faculty verify the skills of what a student can do, rather than their knowledge, our series focuses on the application of didactic content with a practical approach so that you can learn nuances of clinical skills before you reach the bedside.

For many scholars, the poster and its prerequisite abstract are the first product of dissemination of their work. This episode guides the new scholar through the entire process– from selecting a conference destination, writing the abstract in a concise manner, creation of the poster, and the poster session at the conference. Key pearls and pitfalls of abstract submission, the use of artificial intelligence, and your final poster presentation complete the beginner’s guide to dissemination.

This episode was peer reviewed by The Peds NP faculty series peer review team. You can read about our novel and scholarly approach to peer review, review our faculty lineup, and learn more about the series, competency mapping, references, and show notes at www.thepedsnp.com. There was no financial support or conflicts of interest to report. Follow me on Instagram @thepedsnppodcast. Email me at thepedsnp@gmail.com.
