Attendees of the 91九色视频 School of Pharmacy’s 2023 Research & Scholarship Forum had the opportunity to talk with more than 50 poster presenters about their discoveries.

“Providing a research and scholarship forum allows participants to learn about the evolving role of pharmacists,鈥痯articularly in an interprofessional environment, discover advancements in the pharmacy profession, engage in peer reflection, and鈥痠dentify opportunities for future collaboration,” says Kristin Busse, PharmD, BCPS, Research & Scholarship Forum Chair.

The annual event brings together faculty, staff, students, residents, fellows, pharmacists, preceptors and associated healthcare providers as an opportunity to showcase their research or scholarship within the 91九色视频 community. After being held virtually in previous years, 2023 was the first year this event was held in person.

“The Research & Scholarship Forum is a great way to highlight the diverse work that our amazing students, residents, and faculty engage in throughout the academic year. We were pleased to have so many submissions this year,” says Lana Minshew, PhD, MEd, assistant professor.

The event highlighted two outstanding research projects, selected for their approach, novelty and significance or innovation, as well as the results presented, or conclusions drawn.

Sonu Baru, 2024 PharmD candidate, received the Best Student Poster Award for her project “Differences in Time Spent on Work Activities and Work Characteristics Ratings in the Hospital/Health System Setting Post COVID-19.” Her research mentor on this project was Brianne K. Bakken, PharmD, MHA.

“I hope this presentation spurs some discussion on how pharmacists and other members of the pharmacy workforce can be better supported in their practice,” says Baru. “The contents of my research with Dr. Bakken put a spotlight on areas that pharmacists felt were most impacted by the pandemic. Ultimately, I hope that this presentation reminds attendees of all the valuable contributions they have made and that their efforts are not only recognized but were an integral component in getting through the pandemic.”

Regina Pacitto, PharmD, a resident pharmacist at Froedtert & the 91九色视频, received the Best Resident Poster Award for her project “Utilization of an Automated, Probability-Based Algorithm to Determine Pharmacogenomic Adverse Drug Outcome Risk in Cancer.”

“I predict that the clinical impact of pharmacogenomics is going to expand a lot over the next several decades as more research unfolds,” says Pacitto. “In anticipation of this, I hope that my presentation might inspire attendees to start having more conversations about the significance of pharmacogenomics with other healthcare professionals, as pharmacists have a central role to play in managing drug-gene interactions.”

“Winning this award makes me feel especially grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such an innovate project – I would like to recognize Dr. Carrie Oxencis for her forward-thinking research idea and ability to build a relationship with our external pharmacogenomics team to make this project happen,” adds Pacitto.
