Call for STUDENT Poster Abstracts
Do you have a topic in clinical pharmacy practice that interests you? Come tell us about it!
The Pennsylvania Society of Health-System Pharmacists (PSHP) has arranged an exclusive session at the PSHP Annual Assembly in which YOU and other Pennsylvania pharmacy students will have the opportunity to present a poster on a clinical topic of YOUR choice. We invite you to submit an abstract describing your selected topic focusing on current health-system pharmacy issues relevant to the PSHP membership.
Topics that focus on advancing technician roles, credentialing and privileging of pharmacists, clinical leadership in hospital pharmacies, and transplant awareness are of pertinent interest to PSHP. Consider topics that you have come across and were important to patient care or pharmacy services while on your IPPE or APPE rotations.
Benefits of Participation:
· Polish your communication skills for future presentations in class, on rotations, and beyond
· Work with practicing pharmacists across Pennsylvania to discuss and help solve real world issues
· Set yourself apart from your peers by having a formal poster presentation on your CV - great for those pursuing a residency
· Gain valuable feedback from experienced professionals in clinical pharmacy
· Meet fellow Pennsylvania pharmacy students who share YOUR interests
