The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥app Nesbitt School of Pharmacy has a commitment to scholarship.
Each year students have the opportunity to participate in various research electives
mentored by faculty members from the departments of Pharmacy Practice and Pharmaceutical
Sciences. The results of these projects are showcased during an annual Student Research
Poster Day in April. Students and faculty members also regularly present posters at
national pharmacy conferences, including the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy and the American Pharmacists Association.
Detailed information on presented posters along with links to view them are available
in our Poster Archive. Those titles preceded by an asterisk (*) indicate winners in
the Student Research Day judging.
