Call for Abstract Submissions and Poster Presenters at the 2024 GSHP Spring Poster Session  

 

This is your opportunity to share your results with pharmacy colleagues from around Georgia at the 2024 GSHP Spring Poster Session on Saturday, March 23, 2024 during the 2024 GSHP Spring Meeting. Posters highlighting innovative services, evaluations, and pharmacy practice model change initiatives are especially encouraged. Encore presentations from national meetings (ASHP, ACCP, etc.) are accepted. Presenting a peer-reviewed poster is an ideal professional development activity for preceptors, both seasoned and new practitioners, residents, and students. The primary (first) poster presenter must be a GSHP member and results must be included on abstract to be accepted. Research-in-progress abstracts with background and methods only will not be accepted.  Pharmacy students and residents are especially encouraged to participate. Pharmacy technicians are considered practitioners and are also encouraged to submit.

 

The GSHP Education Committee will be evaluating ALL abstracts submitted for recognition and designation as "Outstanding GSHP Poster". All accepted submissions will present in person at the 2024 GSHP Spring Meeting on Saturday, March 23, 2024. The top 5 student, resident, and practitioner abstracts will be selected for live poster judging at the GSHP Spring Meeting on Saturday, March 23, 2024. There will be three categories recognized: 1) Best Pharmacy Student Poster; 2) Best Pharmacy Resident Poster; 3) Best Pharmacy Practitioner Poster; based on the credentials of the primary (first) author. One student, one resident, and one practitioner poster will each win an award based on the highest combined abstract and poster scores. Winners will each receive a plaque and a cash prize.  

 

The deadline for submission of abstracts is at 5pm on Friday, February 16, 2024. Submit your poster abstract using the following link:  https://forms.gle/HR7yBrP7sdaZuPwv6. All accepted abstracts will be required to submit a copy of the final poster in PDF format to the Poster Session Task Force by Wednesday, March 13, 2024. Additional information regarding submission of poster PDFs will be sent out after abstracts have been accepted. Also of note, the primary author is responsible for printing their own poster and bringing it to the poster session.
