Abstracts, posters, and platforms
Should I be presenting a poster or a platform?
The decision to present a poster or a platform session is one the resident should make after discussion with their preceptor and/or program director. Because of limited platform session availability, PGY-2 residents are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to present a poster.
Abstract Submission All residents presenting either a poster or platform at the Conference are required to submit an abstract as part of their registration profile. Residents are encouraged to submit their abstract as early as possible, but may have up to 10PM on April 1st to submit a final document.
Residents must submit their abstract in a PDF document following the specified format in the link below. It is possible that abstracts may be returned or rejected if the recommended format is not followed. Abstracts are submitted via uploading a PDF file to your conference "profile". Please ensure the title of the document you are uploading contains no spaces in the name.
Abstract Submission Guidelines You may view the video below for detail on how to add and update your project abstract. Scrub to 8:08 for this information.

PGY2 Co-Evaluator Program All PGY2 residents will be scheduled to serve as co-evaluators for platform presentations. The purpose of this initiative is to actively engage PGY2 residents attending the conference in the formal evaluation of platform presentations under the mentorship of a residency preceptor.
The following 6 minute presentation concisely reviews the expectations of the formal evaluator specifically as it applies to the PGY2 residents serving in this role and the pharmacist preceptors who have been assigned to work directly with them.
Evaluator Training Program with Audio
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTES ON LODGING!!!
As a courtesy, residents are EXPECTED to discuss any questions they may have with their preceptors or program director BEFORE contacting the Program Chair.
Please contact the Program Chair, or use the "Contact Us" link at the top of the page.
