International pharmacists shared their experiences on presenting their research during one of the Scientific Poster Presentation sessions that took place at the 2016 ACCP Annual Meeting held October 23–26 in Hollywood, Florida.

Ms. May Yu and Ms. Kitty Chu, two pharmacists from Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Hong Kong, presented their research on “Implementation of Pharmacist-Managed Medication Review and Reconciliation Service in Orthopaedic Wards in Queen Elizabeth Hospital” and “Implementation of Ward-Based Pharmacist Medication Review Service in High Risk Geriatric Patients. Observational Study of Drug-Related Problems,” respectively.

Presenting their posters at the ACCP Annual Meeting was the first time for Ms. Yu and Ms. Chu to take part in such professional activities at an international level. Reflecting on this experience, they shared the following statements about their observations on the poster session and ACCP’s Annual Meeting:

“ACCP session site was large, allowing posters to be separated at a good distance and room for better discussion between poster presenters and poster viewers.”

“It was great to see the many posters on scientific research projects. In Hong Kong, most of the posters are service related.”

“We appreciate that our abstract will be published soon. This is a great recognition indeed.”

“It was great to see the many different sessions for clinical pharmacy specialties in ACCP. Attendees could enjoy and gain from the lectures related to their field.”
