Research presentations in upcoming Virtual ISPOR 2020 conference

In the midst of conferences shifting to online modules due to the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers from the University of Florida College of Pharmacy’s department of pharmaceutical outcomes and policy, or POP, continue to present their research in national and international conferences. At the upcoming Virtual ISPOR 2020 conference, “HEOR: Advancing Evidence to Action,” the department will feature sessions originally planned for the June 2020 live event in Orlando. The International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research, or ISPOR, reformatted its annual international conference as a virtual event due to the COVID-19 and will feature accepted abstracts and short courses through an online platform.

POP faculty and trainees will present in one short course, one podium presentation, and seven posters. Abstracts will be published in the Value in Health journal during the summer.
