Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave individuals who gave their lives in service to our country.

This Memorial Day, we recognize the sacrifices made by service members and their families, and we reflect on the meaning of service, commitment, and community.

Have you ever thought about presenting, but weren’t sure if your work “counts” as a poster? Here’s your sign: it does.

Posters aren’t just for large-scale research. Some of the most impactful submissions come from:
✨ Quality improvement projects
✨ Program innovations
✨ Curriculum development
✨ Lessons learned from real-world implementation

If you’re doing meaningful work in your program, it’s worth sharing.

Presenting a poster is a powerful way to:
✔ Contribute to the field
✔ Highlight your program’s impact
✔ Connect with peers across the country

📌 Don’t overthink it, start with what you’re already doing. Poster submissions are due by May 31!

What sets top APP postgraduate programs apart?

Whether you’re building, expanding, or refining your program, strong foundations make all the difference. Here are a few elements we consistently see in successful programs:

🔹 Structured Curriculum
Clear learning objectives, defined rotations, and intentional skill progression
🔹 Dedicated Mentorship
Preceptors and mentors who are invested in both clinical growth and professional development
🔹 Outcomes Tracking
Data-driven evaluation of trainee performance and program impact
🔹 Wellness & Support
Built-in strategies that prioritize resilience, balance, and long-term success

Strong programs don’t happen by chance, they’re built with purpose.
