Presenting a poster on research day highlights the outcomes of student research activities.
Poster presentations promote student research efforts, sharpen student presentation
skills and lead to increased visibility within the research community at PCOM.
Student Research Advantages
The advantages for students of doing research include:
Developing a better understanding of related topics covered in the PharmD curriculum by going from theory to practice.
Gaining research experience and hopefully contributing to research publications which
strengthen professional development and residency applications.
Poster Presentation Opportunities
Anna Staskiewicz, MS/Biomed ‘22, a student of Dr. Xinyu (Eric) Wang, PhD, is shown
at Research Day.
Students can present posters at various conferences and meetings. Usually every meeting
has specific dimensions for poster designs. PCOM PharmD students have the opportunity
to present posters at PCOM Research Day, research meetings, the American Association
of Colleges of Pharmacy annual meeting and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists
Midyear Meeting and exhibition. The poster can feature any of the following types
of research:
Pharmaceutical science (drug discovery, drug development, drug delivery, etc.)
Community-based research
Pharmacy practice (retrospective analysis, case study, etc.)
Teaching scholarship
Usually, the faculty mentor assists students by providing research poster templates
and guidance to students on how to prepare a poster as per the need of the meeting
or conference. Students are encouraged to reach out to faculty directly based on a
common interest in research.
