Hannah Hoffmann wins first place in Education Research Poster at ASPET 2024

BSPS and incoming PharmD student Hannah Hoffmann won first place in the División of Pharmacology Education Student Poster Competition at the American Society of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET) 2024 Annual Meeting May 16-19 in Arlington, Virginia. 

Hoffman's research poster, "Equitable Impacts of Coaching Reports on Undergraduate Students Self-Directed Learning and Pharmaceutical Science Exam Performance," demonstrated that undergraduate students who received an individualized coaching report on the subjects and question types they struggled with on the exam were better informed about how to study for the next exam. Student exam scores further improved when exam difficulty gradually increased over time and included some questions from previous exams.

Hoffman's research was done during her ASPET summer research fellowship under the advisement of Dr. Nicholas Denton. She was recognized by ASPET with a travel award to present her research at the annual meeting.
