A poster is a visual display that offers information about a program or educational activity or presents findings of a research project. Posters can be an effective and interactive way to share parish nursing practice in its many forms.

We are making a call for posters for the 2012 CAPNM conference and AGM, Parish Nursing and Social Justice, a Capital Idea in Ottawa, May 10 -13, 2012.This year you are invited to present your poster in one of two ways: as an up to five minute power point presentation (about five slides) to be given at the end of a plenary session or as a regular paper poster to be hung.
