EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Poster Presentations
Description of activity
Posters that highlight research projects or practice innovations are
often displayed at various local, state or national association
meetings. Posters can be created on individual student projects or
research, as well as other unique activities the student is involved
in.
Rationale
Posters not only serve as a means to share new information and ideas,
but also to recognize outstanding students. Enhanced presentation skills
and practice creating posters are made possible with this activity.
Areas of professionalism addressed
Advancing knowledge through scholarship is an important part of
professional development. Students should not only possess the knowledge
to make them competent pharmacists but also effectively deliver their
message to a diverse population.
Special issues involving planning / promotion /
implementation
It is not unusual for a project and subsequent poster to be completed as
an extracurricular project. Time management and coping skills may be
tested when combining these activities with a full academic course load.
Posters are typically presented at out-of-state conferences or meetings,
which can conflict with a student’s class schedule and are often
expensive to attend.
