2006 Poster ForumShowcasing individual research and evaluation of therapeutic issues by the
Doctor of Pharmacy class graduating in May 2006
he Poster Forum project begins during the senior year of pharmacy school while students are involved in the Advanced Practice Experience (APE). As students progress through the APE, they identify relevant topics or therapeutic controversies pertinent to the profession of pharmacy. After developing the poster project idea, with the support of a faculty advisor, each student presents the information to colleagues during a school-wide Poster Forum. This gives students the opportunity to develop a "colleague consciousness" by learning to identify and effectively communicate therapeutic issues encountered in clinical practice to students, peers, and other health care professionals. It prepares students for their future professional responsibility of sharing new approaches, patient care techniques, and drug information within the profession of pharmacy.
This year's event was held on April 4th at the Auburn University Hotel and Conference Center. 104 posters were presented in two morning sessions and an afternoon session. The Course Coordinators were Kristen Helms, Pharm.D. and Kristi Kelley, Pharm.D., BCPS, CDE.
