It's almost August and the submission site for abstracts for the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting will be opening in a few weeks. It may seem early for some, but if you are in the throws of getting research started, it might be helpful to consider what type of information you'll need in your abstract. Remember that a good abstract and a good poster will help you sell yourself at Midyear so don't wait until the night before. I've provided some links for some resources I've found online about how to write an abstract for a meeting. Enjoy!
