Trainee Poster Competition Abstracts

The Council of Sections (COS) invites student pharmacists, graduate students, postdocs, residents and fellows at colleges and schools of pharmacy to submit poster abstracts for inclusion in a trainee poster competition at the 2025 Annual Meeting. In this competition, posters will be judged by multi-disciplinary teams, and one poster will be recognized in each of the following three categories: best poster by a student pharmacist; best poster by a graduate student; and best poster by a resident, fellow or postdoc.

School Poster Abstracts

AACP member institutions are invited to submit one poster abstract per member institution to be displayed during the 2025 Annual Meeting. School Posters do not go through the review process, so once the abstract has been verified to meet the theme and subcategories, acceptance emails will be sent in April.

The School Poster Theme for 2025 is “Showcasing Your School’s Commitment to Excellence in Higher Education” and subthemes are:

Special Poster Abstracts

Evaluation Criteria and Categories of Work

The AACP Council of Sections (COS) which consists of the nine AACP Sections’ officers and an administrative board, is responsible for implementing the poster abstract review process. Abstracts are reviewed by the Section to which the abstract is submitted.

Trainee Poster Abstract Evaluation

Each poster abstract will be reviewed by three reviewers who will score based on the evaluation criteria below. The scores will be averaged, and the Trainee Competition finalists will be identified based on the acceptance margin determined by the poster abstract review committee.
