Dear SMSHP member,

You may have recently received an email from Grubhub stating that SMSHP sent you a digital gift card. THIS IS REAL, not spam! It is a legitimate gift from the organization. The SMSHP Board wants the membership to "enjoy a meal on us" during the upcoming CE to give back for continuing to support and participate in our programs despite the difficulties with virtual meetings due to COVID-19. Please reach out to us via the website if you have concerns.

Thank you for your continued support of SMSHP. We look forward to being able to meet with you all in person again.

Summer greetings to all!

As we transition into our programming season, SMSHP wanted to share our plans with you.  As with all things COVID, there is certainly the possibility for things to change.  However, we would like to provide the following updated schedule:

• September: final virtual CE event + virtual vendor Zoom session (see separate announcement)
• October: returning to in-person events, with COVID-mitigation strategies.  
• 1. Residency Showcase 
  2. Reverse Expo
  3. Technician CE Breakfast
• November - Return to in-person programming sessions, including Awards Banquet

We will continue to closely monitor State of Michigan guidance for any necessary changes.  

We look forward to seeing everyone safe & healthy!

Greeting SMSHP Members,

Prior to our September CE session, we would like to help you get back in touch with our sponsors!  As COVID draws on, it is more important than ever that we adapt and find creative ways to collaborate.  Therefore, we are offering a virtual session for knowledge sharing and "catching up" with our vendors.  The session will be hosted by Zoom, and includes "Breakout Rooms" where you can navigate to speak to individual representatives. 

All sponsors can be reached with a single link (see below).  Zoom has proven to be among the most user-friendly virtual options out there.  

We look forward to seeing your faces again soon! (on Zoom)

Meeting Agenda Wednesday, October 14th:

Meeting Agenda Tuesday, October 13th:

Dear Showcase Attendees, 

Welcome to the 2020 Southeastern Michigan Society of Health-System Pharmacists Residency Showcase! We are excited to share our distinguished panel of speakers and programs. Over the two evenings we will have representation from over 30 residency programs and student attendees from 8 colleges of pharmacy.

Each residency program has been allocated two time slots. The first is a 7 minute time slot specifically for Residency Program Directors (or a designee) to present highlights of their program(s) to candidates. The second is a 20 minute breakout session to facilitate questions and answers among candidates and the program’s RPD or designee, a preceptor, and 1 or 2 current residents. 

This year’s event is being conducted entirely virtually through Zoom. We wanted to provide a few tips to help maintain the highest level of professionalism for our presenters and attendees. 

• Audio - Please keep your microphone muted for the entire evening unless you are a presenter. Each meeting room is set up so all participants are muted upon entry.

• Video - Only presenters may have their video on. This will help keep presentation quality high. If you are a residency program presenter please note the SMSHP host will grant you video and screen sharing capability immediately prior to your presentation.

• Questions - Please reserve your questions for the breakout sessions to allow presenters the opportunity to discuss their planned presentation. Once in the breakout meeting room, please submit questions through the Q&A function. The SMSHP moderator will review questions in the breakout sessions to help facilitate responses by the residency programs. 

• Preparation - Please consider downloading the Zoom desktop client software prior for the best experience ( www.Zoom.com )

A meeting agenda is available in a separate posting. Each session uses unique Zoom meeting information. To access the Zoom meeting link and passcode, please open our Detailed Meeting Agenda, which will be sent in separate email to those who RSVP'd. These two online Google Sheets (one for each evening) will be used to keep the most up-to-date meeting links and information. Please reference this summary to select the Zoom meeting link and passcode for the sessions you wish to attend.

Those who RSVP'd will receive an email invitation with the Zoom meeting links and passcodes.  

Thank you for your participation in this virtual event. Please feel free to contact Jillian DiClemente and Jeff Hurren with any questions.
