Introduction

Objectives include (1) To create an opportunity for students enrolled in pharmacy programs to enhance their presentation skills by delivering research podium presentations at a regional conference; (2) To probe students' experience about podium presentations at the inaugural American Association for the Advancement of Science Pacific Division (AAAS PD) – American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy Students' Symposium; and (3) To introduce student pharmacists to science-oriented research.

Methods

The student presenters were asked to anonymously answer 15 questions before and after the symposium. Question topics included factual information about students' background and favorability perceptions about symposia. Scores were compared between pharmacy students and non-pharmacy students, and favorability ratings were compared before and after the symposium.

Results

Thirteen students delivered their podium presentations at the symposium entitled “Pharmaceutical Research and Development: From Bench to Patient-Centered Care” that was held in Pomona, California at the 99th Annual Meeting of the AAAS PD in 2018. Pharmacy and non-pharmacy students provided similar responses on favorability perceptions. Post-symposium perceptions were more favorable towards symposia compared to pre-symposium scores.

Conclusions

Favorability scores revealed a positive perception of the event and what it offered in terms of scientific benefits, networking opportunities, and enhancing soft skills. Participating students had the chance to (1) prepare and independently deliver a podium presentation on pharmacy-related research topics at a regional meeting; (2) network and learn from each other and professionals in the audience about pharmacy research; and (3) practice soft skills such as communication, time-management, teamwork, scientific writing, and presentation skills.

注册药学课程的学生进行研究讲台演讲的好处：描述性研究

介绍

目标包括 (1) 为注册药学课程的学生创造机会，通过在区域会议上进行研究讲台演讲来提高他们的演讲技巧；(2) 探讨学生在首届美国科学促进会太平洋分部（AAAS PD）——美国药学院学生研讨会上的讲台演讲体验；(3) 向学生药剂师介绍科学导向的研究。

方法

学生主讲人被要求在座谈会前后匿名回答 15 个问题。问题主题包括关于学生背景的事实信息和关于座谈会的好感度看法。比较药学学生和非药学学生的分数，并比较研讨会前后的好感度。

结果

13 名学生在 2018 年在加利福尼亚州波莫纳举行的第 99 届 AAAS PD 年会上题为“药物研究与开发：从替补到以患者为中心的护理”的研讨会上发表了他们的演讲。 药学和非药学学生提供对好感度认知的类似反应。与研讨会前的分数相比，研​​讨会后的看法更倾向于研讨会。

结论

好感度分数显示了对该事件的积极看法，以及它在科学利益、社交机会和增强软技能方面提供的内容。参与的学生有机会 (1) 在区域会议上准备并独立发表关于药学相关研究主题的讲台演讲；(2) 与听众中的专业人士相互学习药学研究；(3) 练习软技能，例如沟通、时间管理、团队合作、科学写作和演讲技巧。
