What is a Poster Presentation?
Poster presentations are informal discussions among meeting attendees about current projects in pharmacy practice. Poster presentations provide an excellent opportunity to pick up concepts that have been effective in other healthcare systems. Take advantage of this opportunity to network with peers, learn new skills, and tactics to enhance your practice.
Note: While this is a leadership-focused meeting, we welcome poster submissions on any pharmacy-related topic. Submissions do not need to be limited to leadership themes and should be of interest to a leadership audience.
Pharmacy Leaders will have the opportunity to display their innovative leadership skills, strategies, and experience by presenting a poster.
The deadline for submitting proposals is August 1st at 11:59 p.m. PT.
Notifications
Acceptance and rejection notifications will be emailed to the primary presenter by mid-August.
Presentation Schedule
Monday, October 5, 5 – 6 p.m.
