Poster Presentation Question

[SomeDoc]

Members don't see this ad.

I am working on a case report, and will be first author on the official report. I would like for my colleague, who is also involved in the project, to present the poster at a regional conference. Would it be applicable to list "poster presentation " at conference X on my CV, given that I will be one of the authors, or is this typically assigned to the individual physically presenting the poster?

I've seen attendings who have 2 different categories on their CV, the first being "Presentations" and the second "Coauthored Presentations." I think a lot of people in academics eventually drop the second so their CV is not an extra 40 pages to include every single project a resident or student has presented on which said attending is the final author.

I have a section in my cv titled "Abstracts and Posters"

Here is an example of how I list a non-published poster:

Rack SK and Rack M. “Long Term Follow-up of Juvenile
Sexual Offenders at the West Virginia University Department of Behavioral Medicine and Psychiatry Residential Treatment Center.” Presented at the Department of Psychiatry and
Human Behavior and Center for Research Excellence in
Psychiatric Neuroscience Research Day (The University of
Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson, Mississippi, March 12, 2004).

Here is an example of how I list a poster that is "published" (usually in an abstract supplement):

Fulop T, Hickson D, Rack M, Wyatt S, Schmidt D, Miller R, Bhagat R, Ajelabi A, Taylor H. Historical Features of Sleep Disordered Breathing are not Associated with Albuminuria in African-American Participants of the Jackson Heart Study.
Sleep 2007; 30(abstract supplement):A310-11.

The person presenting the poster does not have to be listed as the first author.

I think a lot of people don't list abstracts once their CV starts becoming long -- in truth an abstract that leads to a poster, presentation or paper should be dropped in favor of those, and the abstract that doesn't lead to any of those should be dropped altogether. So there's just a short window of time that abstracts are listable.

agree for those in academia. I have a lot of padding in my cv that I should probably remove. I only have one "real" publication to my credit ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22841028 ) and so tend to leave a lot of fluff in my cv. I posted those 2 examples mainly to show medical students/residents what format they could use for the time (however brief) they have abstracts on their cv. If I were to ever go back into academia, I would definitely need to clean up my cv.
