Submit an abstract for OPA's Annual Conference

The Ohio Innovative Practice Roundtables and Poster Session provide an opportunity for those transforming pharmacy practice through novel services, interventions and practice models to share their experiences during the 149th OPA Annual Conference, April 8-10, 2027, at Hilton Columbus at Easton.  

Pharmacists, residents, fellows and students are invited to submit their practice innovations. Effort will be made to honor preferences for innovative practice category submissions. However, the selection committee reserves the right to make the final determination of category for presentation (roundtable or poster). All presenters must be registered for the Annual Conference. 

Innovative pharmacy practice models and services in Ohio will be showcased in the Innovative Practice Roundtables and Poster Session. Practitioners from a variety of practice sites are encouraged to apply to present how they have successfully adjusted workflow, tried something new and/or implemented services as they overcame barriers to offer patient-centered care and services and improve patient access to pharmacist-provided care. Practitioners are invited to present 8-10 minute roundtable presentations focusing on a pharmacy innovation. Audience participants will gain ideas and engage in discussion with the presenter and other roundtable attendees to enhance their own practices.  

Innovative Practice Roundtables:  Friday, April 9, 2027, 10:10 to 11:40 a.m.   
Poster Session:  Friday, April 9, 2027, 2:15 to 3:30 p.m.   

There will be up to six innovative practices chosen for the CPE roundtable presentations.  Remaining accepted abstracts will be presented as part of the Poster Session.

Friday, January 22, 2027, is the deadline to submit. Notification of acceptance and presentation format/time will be sent via email to the primary author 4-6 weeks prior to the presentation.
