EMPoweRx 2027
April 1–3, 2027 · Hyatt Regency Mission Bay · San Diego, California
Hosted by the Society of Emergency Medicine Pharmacists (SEMP)
Share your research with pharmacy colleagues through the resident poster program. Unique medication practices, innovative services, evaluations and pharmacy practice model changes are welcome, including encore presentations from national meetings.
Following the popularity of last year’s resident poster program, EMPoweRx 2027 is expanding to two evening poster sessions.
Evening session times will be announced with the 2027 agenda. Presenter session assignments will be provided after acceptance.
The top three scoring abstracts submitted by the early deadline will be selected for a 10-minute virtual platform presentation. Virtual presentation dates and times will be announced with the agenda.
Research-in-progress abstracts with background and methods only are accepted for the poster session and abstract publication.
Before submitting, obtain approval from your research preceptor or residency program director (RPD) for the abstract and conference presentation. Fellows should obtain approval from their research preceptor or program director.
Provide the approver’s full name, role, institution or residency program, and professional email address. The approver must complete the 2027 sign-off form to document review and approval of the submitted abstract and presentation. Listing an approver’s name alone does not document approval.
Have your approver complete one sign-off per abstract, using the exact presenter email and abstract title that will appear on the submission. Approval does not guarantee conference acceptance, an award or a session assignment. The research team may contact the listed approver to verify the sign-off.
Presenters are responsible for printing their own posters and bringing them to the poster session. Poster specifications and templates will be provided upon acceptance. Virtual presentation guidelines will be sent to selected presenters.
The 2027 abstract submission link and deadlines are being finalized. Prepare your abstract using the requirements above and obtain your approver’s review. Last year’s submission form is closed.
No. Research-in-progress abstracts with background and methods only are welcome. For completed research, include purpose, methods, results and conclusions within the word limits above.
