FSHP Annual Meeting

Contributed posters are now being accepted for the FSHP Annual Meeting to be held in Orlando, Florida, August 7-9, 2026.

The corresponding authors of the pharmacist/pharmacy technician and student poster session winners will receive 100 dollars and an award. The poster session will be held Saturday, August 8, 2026 from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. All accepted posters will also be available virtually to meeting attendees.

The deadline for receipt of all poster abstract submissions is April 8, 2026. Submissions will be accepted, accepted with revisions, or rejected by May 13, 2026. For those accepted with revisions, revised abstracts are due May 20, 2026. Final posters are due June 17, 2026.

Please note that all deadlines will be strictly enforced.

Review the detailed guidelines for submission as outlined below. Previous presentation of your poster at another scientific meeting does not preclude your participation in the FSHP poster session, unless that organization’s rules prohibit encore presentations. It is the corresponding author’s responsibility to ensure compliance with other organizations’ rules before submitting such a poster to FSHP. Note: For multicenter projects please submit one abstract.

Withdrawal of posters after submission is discouraged. Because of early publication deadlines, if you withdraw after receiving your acceptance notice, FSHP cannot guarantee that your poster and/or abstract will not appear on the FSHP Website, and/or in other print or electronic media.

MEETING REGISTRATION

Participation in the FSHP Poster Session is a voluntary effort, and FSHP is unable to pay expenses for your participation. If your submission is accepted for presentation at the meeting, you are responsible for your own meeting registration fee and travel to the meeting.

ALL PRESENTERS MUST BE REGISTERED AT THE MEETING THE DAY OF THE PRESENTATION. NOTE THAT ONE OF THE AUTHORS MUST BE IN ATTENDANCE FOR THE POSTER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR JUDGING. POSTER PRESENTER’S BADGES WILL BE CHECKED DURING SET-UP.

(PLEASE SEE ANNUAL MEETING REGISTRATION BROCHURE FOR RATES)

The following guidelines must be adhered to when posters are prepared:

1. The FSHP poster session is intended to showcase original research (e.g., case reports, case series, meta analyses, retrospective or prospective trials conducted by the authors), or innovative pharmacy practices (i.e., descriptive reports of implemented improved or innovative roles or services in pharmacy practice).

NOTE: Posters that lack a scientific methodology (e.g., descriptive summaries of previously published literature) are not considered original research for the FSHP Poster Session. Innovative pharmacy practices that are theoretical or have not been implemented will not be accepted for the poster session. Research-in-progress reports (without final results) are acceptable; however, posters with no results are not eligible for the FSHP Poster Awards.

Criteria for acceptance/rejection:

1. Relevance and importance of the topic to our attendees
2. Adherence to abstract/poster guidelines
3. Presentation balance (lack of bias)
4. Literature reviews, medication use evaluations, and pharmaceutical industry
   sponsored studies will not be accepted.

2. Pharmacist/Pharmacy technician and Student abstracts must be submitted electronically via the FSHP website.

• Please clearly indicate if you are a student or a pharmacist/resident/pharmacy technician (this very important for the category placement of poster).
  NOTE: If you hold a pharmacy degree, you will be placed in the pharmacist’s category regardless of your current status (i.e. post-baccalaureate Pharm.D.).
• For Pharmacist/Pharmacy Technician submissions complete the online abstract submission form

• Poster Disclosure Agreement:
  • A potential conflict of interest is considered to exist if an author has a financial interest in or is affiliated with commercial organizations that may have a direct or indirect interest in the subject matter of the presentation. A “financial interest” is defined as: being a shareholder in the organization, or having research supported or honoraria paid by the organization. An “affiliation” is defined as a position on an advisory committee or some other role of benefit to the sponsoring organization. This does not apply to non-profit health-systems unless you are working for a commercial entity within the non-profit.
  • The intent of this disclosure is not to prevent an author with a potential conflict of interest from making a presentation, but to let the audience know about the relationship before the presentation. It is intended that any conflict may be openly identified so that with the full disclosure of the facts, the attendees may form their own judgments about the presentation.
  • Indicate if you or any of the authors have current or recent (within the last 12 months) affiliation or financial interest in an external commercial organization that relates to this presentation.
  • Please indicate disclosures on behalf of all authors on the online submission questionnaire form AND in the lower right corner of your poster board. If you have no affiliation "nothing to disclose" must be displayed in the lower right corner of your poster board
