E-Poster Presentations
E-Posters are digital research posters highlighting clinical research, case reports, and educational initiatives from PAs and PA students across Canada. Each year’s collection features work presented at the CAPA Annual Conference, reflecting the growing role of PAs in evidence-based medicine, clinical education, and research.

Yes, students are encouraged to submit posters. Student posters must meet the same criteria for acceptance. However, we recognize that many student projects are in progress when the deadline occurs; therefore, students are permitted to submit posters for research whose results are pending. The research must be completed in time for presentation at the conference.
-
No, original research, as well as other types of scholarly activity is welcome.
We will accept original research, case reports, innovative practice or educational techniques, systematic reviews or meta-analyses, and posters that have been previously presented at other medical or scientific conferences.
We strongly encourage students to submit research that is done as part of their program or a unique and interesting case report from their clinical rotations. Faculty from PA programs are encouraged to present their educational research, innovative curricular designs, or case studies.

Examples of original research include but are not limited to results of a survey; an interventional study; a secondary data analysis; an epidemiologic study; cost-benefit analysis; an evaluation of a diagnostic test; or a pre-/post-test evaluation of an educational intervention.

Systematic reviews or meta-analyses are eligible for submission.

Each year CAPA releases a submission form. This requires you to review the selection criteria and submit a 500-word abstract.
Your abstract will undergo a peer-review process. CAPA will contact the submitting author to advise if the poster has been selected for presentation.

Abstracts will be blinded (i.e. authors’ names and affiliations will be removed) and distributed to PAs for review. Selection criteria are detailed below.
