Judging Criteria

Poster presentations are scored from 1 (Exceptional) to 9 (Poor) in four categories:

•   Quality of Approach/Data
•   Significance of the Work
•   Quality of the Presentation (both oral and of the poster)
•   Overall Score

Judging Volunteers

We are recruiting volunteer judges for the morning and afternoon poster sessions. Judging is open to all IM faculty, and we aim to have representation from each IM division. You are still able to serve as a judge if presenting a poster - we will coordinate your presentation and judging timeslots accordingly. Thank you for supporting our research community!
