Submit abstracts online at http://accp.confex.com/accp/2014vp/cfp.cgi.
All investigators in the field of clinical pharmacy and therapeutics, ACCP members and nonmembers alike, are invited to submit abstracts of papers to be considered for presentation at the ACCP Virtual Poster Symposium (May 20–21, 2014).
Posters will be on display May 20–21 for asynchronous viewing and comment. In addition, two interactive sessions will be scheduled on May 20 and May 21, when authors will be available for real-time online question-and-answer sessions alongside their virtual posters. The technology required for presenters and participants is minimal—a broadband Internet connection, a current browser, and Skype (free software).
All papers accepted for poster presentation, except for “Encore” presentations, will have abstracts published online in Pharmacotherapy and be automatically entered in the Best Poster Award competitions. Abstracts may be submitted in one of the following categories:
ORIGINAL RESEARCH: Abstracts must describe original research in education, therapeutics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacoeconomics, pharmacoepidemiology, or pharmacogenomics. Abstracts that describe in vitro or animal research are welcome. Abstracts will be evaluated on originality, hypothesis/objectives, study design, results, and conclusions. All papers accepted will be assigned to a virtual poster format.
CLINICAL PHARMACY FORUM: Abstracts must describe the delivery, development, justification, or documentation of innovative clinical pharmacy services. Abstracts dealing with payments or cost analyses are encouraged. Abstracts may be descriptive only and need not contain an evaluative component. The abstract must not have been published in abstract form or presented elsewhere before the ACCP Virtual Poster Symposium (May 20–21, 2014). Abstracts will be evaluated on originality of the service or program, adequacy of justification/documentation, adaptability to other settings, and significance to clinical pharmacy. All papers accepted will be assigned to a virtual poster format.
RESIDENT AND STUDENT RESEARCH-IN-PROGRESS: Submission and evaluation criteria are those of an “Original Research” presentation except that the research effort is ongoing. Descriptions of planned research efforts without data should not be submitted. Submission of partly completed data is acceptable. Abstracts should provide an assessment of likelihood of project completion by date of presentation. The presenting author must be a resident or student. All papers accepted will be assigned to a virtual poster format. Graduate students and fellows are invited to submit abstracts in the Original Research and/or Clinical Pharmacy Forum categories.
Submission Deadline
The deadline to submit abstracts in the Original Research, Clinical Pharmacy Forum, and Resident and Student Research-in-Progress categories is Friday, January 17, 2014, 11:59 p.m. (PST). Authors will be notified by e-mail of the acceptance of their papers by Monday, March 31, 2014. See complete submission instructions and guidelines at http://accp.confex.com/accp/2014vp/cfp.cgi.
