ABOUT THE GREAT EIGHT

Join us for our annual, juried showcase of the work of Connecticut Pharmacy Residents. The Great Eight is an opportunity for Connecticut's Pharmacy Residents to present their research in front of clinical pharmacists and pharmacy administrators who are interested in the work that they have completed.

EXCITING NEWS FOR 2024

The Great Eight was introduced in 2012 to spotlight the work of CSHP's Resident Members. As of 2024, CSHP decided to open the Great Eight to all Residents in the state of Connecticut and the winning eight will receive a one year complimentary CSHP Resident Membership.

This event will offer 2 live ACPE credit hours for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians approved & accredited by the Hartford Healthcare as a provider of continuing pharmacy education for both pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.
