Academic Poster Session

The Academic Poster Session is a joint venture between JCEMS and the National Collegiate EMS Foundation (NCEMSF). Established in 2018 at the 25th Annual NCEMSF Conference, the Academic Poster Session is held annually at the NCEMSF conference. The session provides a forum for collegiate EMS leaders and scholars to share research findings and innovative and novel collegiate EMS programs and initiatives. Presented abstracts and posters are published in JCEMS to promote open access scholarship.

At the annual NCEMSF Conference, The College EMS Research Poster of the Year Award is announced at the NCEMSF Awards Ceremony. This award recognizes excellence in campus-based EMS research and promotes advancements in the field through academic research. Winners are selected from among the submitted posters for the JCEMS poster competition at the annual conference.
