HealtheX Judging for Oral Presentation Sessions is as follows:
– 3+ judges are assigned to each room. These judges are selected to ensure that they do not have a conflict of interest with students in the session, and so that they have a range of research backgrounds. A minimum of two of the judges are staff judges, with up to 1 being a student judge. Judges provide scores based on the marking criteria (linked below) as well as comments for the superjudges to read.
– 6-7 super judges from throughout FMHS and Liggins are selected, ensuring we cover as many schools and departments as possible. These superjudges are scheduled to attend talks throughout the day to ensure that at least one superjudge is present at every single oral presentation.
– At the end of the day, the superjudges meet to discuss the scores and comments, and discuss the presentations. The superjudges make the final decision (during the 3-minute elevator pitch) using the scores and comments to guide them. The superjudges change each year but are always credited in the program booklet acknowledgements page.
HealtheX Judging for the Poster Presentation Session is as follows:
– 2+ judges are assigned to each poster. These judges are selected to ensure that they do not have a conflict of interest with students in the session, and so that they have a range of research backgrounds. Judges provide scores based on the marking criteria (linked below) as well as comments for the superjudge to read.
– Judges are asked to have their scores submitted within 40 minutes of the 60 minute poster session. At which point the super judge can look at the top marks and go assess these posters.
– The superjudge makes the final decision using the scores and comments to guide them. The superjudges change each year but are always credited in the program booklet acknowledgements page.
HealtheX Judging for the 3-Minute Elevator Pitch (3MEP) is as follows:
– 3+ judges are selected to mark the 3-minute elevator pitch. This usually includes but is not limited to: a representative from AMRF, a representative from FMHS PGSA, and the staff member who presented the session on doing a 3-minute elevator pitch at the presentation skills workshop. These judges change each year but are always credited in the HealtheX programme booklet.
– These judges independantly score and comment on the presentations using the marking criteria (linked below)
– At the end of the session the judges deliberate and make the final decision.
HealtheX Judging for Abstract Reviewing Prizes is as follows:
– Abstract reviewers (these are student volunteers who review the abstracts prior to it being accepted for HealtheX) each select 1-2 abstracts from their review pile that best follow the instructions provided on the abstract submissions page and abstract template. Typically if students have followed the instructions this will put them in the top 2 from their pile.
– This results in a shortlist of 20-30 abstracts. These abstracts are marked by 3+ staff judges (credited in the programme booklet). The staff rank their top 5 abstracts.
– The top 5 abstracts from each staff member are assigned points (5 points for 1st place, and so forth)
– These scores are compiled and the top 5 abstracts are identified. These results are then confirmed with the staff judges to ensure that they are happy with the final list.
