Participants of the workshop are invited to submit a poster abstract to be displayed during the Faculty Development Workshop. No formal presentation will be required, but there will be an opportunity to present a very brief overview of your poster (a micro-presentation in 5-10 minutes or less). Participants will be able to review posters and network with other participants throughout the program during breaks. We believe that the poster session will be idea generating and help to identify collaboration opportunities between institutions.
The January 10-11, 2025, Faculty Development Workshop theme will be “Contemporary Topics in Pharmacy Education.” Programs are encouraged to consider one of the workshop topics for their poster submissions, but other topics will also be considered by the abstract reviewers. Each poster should focus on one theme only, but colleges can present multiple posters, each addressing a different theme.
Please submit a PDF of your abstract formatted as directed below using the SUBMISSION FORM
by no later than October 30, 2024. Authors may submit abstracts for presentations or posters that have been presented at another meeting within the last year but are asked to format the
abstract according to the guidelines below.
If you have questions email Dawn Zarembski at
ACPE.
The abstract(s) should contain no more than 250 words and should briefly describe the components of your poster. All abstracts should include a title, list one of the above categories that will be addressed (if applicable), followed by your description. There are no other specific requirements regarding abstract formatting. All abstracts that are well aligned with the overall theme of the workshop will be accepted; you will be notified by December 1, 2024. School posters will be displayed on both days at the 8th Regional Faculty Development Workshop. If notified of acceptance, further instructions on the poster specifications will be provided with the acceptance notification.
If you have any questions regarding abstract submissions, please contact Dawn Zarembski at
ACPE.
We look forward to your submission!
As a component of the Faculty Development Workshop, three (3) programs will be invited to make a short oral presentation (regional mini-presentation). The presentation should be aligned with the main themes of this workshop, including experiential education, use of artificial intelligence in pharmacy education, and use of competency-based assessments. One program will present on Day 1 and two on Day 2 of the workshop. We invite your program to submit an abstract to be considered for one of the regional mini-presentations.
