thank you, I moved it to the experiences section, and titled position as Presenter, is that okay? I left reason for leaving blank since this was a one day event
I'm not sure if this is what Law2Doc meant. What I took Law2Doc's suggestion to mean was that in the experiences section, you probably have an entry for your research experience. (ie - title "Student Researcher at Dr. XYZ's lab", 12 hours/week, etc.) And then there is a big box where you can describe that experience. In my case I used that box for a little summary about the general area of investigation & the responsibilities I had, etc.
I think Law2Doc is suggesting that in this same box about your research experience you would mention something about your poster - perhaps either listing the whole citation if you had space or maybe just saying something like "presentation made at (campus wide research day, etc.)"
I think it will look wierd to have created a whole separate "experience" just for a poster. (I mean, the experience section is for really BIG things with major time commitments, and by comparisson, I think a single poster is pretty trivial.) (And the poster fits UNDER the heading of one of your BIG research experiences, it is not a separate "experience" in and of itself.)
Personally, I listed my posters, both those presented at national meetings and those presented on campus in the "Presentations" ("Publications") section. I can see the argument for not putting "local" presentations in this section, thinking they are too insignificant to deserve an actual listing of their own. In my case I decided to go ahead & list the local presentations, too, I guess that is everyone's own judgement call...
I would agree with Winged Scapula that a poster is NOT the same thing as a publication.
However, the place within the
ERAS program for you to
enter posters seems to be within the "publications" section of ERAS. When you enter a "publication" there is a little drop down menu where you pick the publication "type". The "types" of publications include things like "peer reviewed publication in a journal" as well as "oral presentation", "poster presentation", etc.
I hope this makes sense.
Here is another thread where I tried to convey this concept previously:
