I presented a poster at my SMP institution's research day, and placed it on my CV. I recently submitted it to a national conference regarding that subspecialty of medicine, and it was accepted. Do I write the poster down once each per conference (obviously writing it in proper citation form, which would show the name of the conference on it, differentiating between the two)? Or since it was the same project, should I only write it once? Thanks
 
I'd recommend just citing it for the national (external) presentation rather than list the same exact poster twice. if the work presented is substantially different between the two meetings, then you can post both presentations.
 
I'd include both. It's always better if the content is a lot more updated but there's no sense in not acknowledging that you attended two separate experiences.
 
I agree with ed. Just list it once with the national presentation. The SMP one isn't going to impress anyone anyway.

And the reality is, you're not an attending yet. Yes, at some point out CVs will be dozens of pages (and at some point the things we do will actually be important enough to warrant that). However, as a premed or med student - less is still more because you need admissions offices/program directors to read your stuff. You want to keep it simple and focus on the big stuff.
 
I had a similar issue when filling out my AMCAS.

I ended up putting both presentations in the same line like so:
