Abstract

With the advent of this century, information technology has become an integral part of medical education and research. Posters have always been a strong medium of information dissemination amongst researchers and students alike. E-Posters are the talk of the hour, with most of the major events having provisions for the same. Some researchers consider it a must in today's world, whereas others still consider traditional posters as being more personal and having a stronger impact. This debate has been put forth in the following article, with each author putting forth their points in favor of their respective preferences and finally coming up with a conclusion about the topic.
