PETS at ICPE 2023

The Rutgers Center for Pharmacoepidemiology and Treatment Sciences (PETS) facilitates and performs innovative, multidisciplinary science related to the use and outcomes of therapeutics and diagnostics in large populations. The mission of the Center is to advance pharmacoepidemiology and related fields through world-class research and training. PETS is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the opportunities created by the breadth and scale of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS).

PETS Faculty, Staff, and Trainees attend the 39^th International Conference for Pharmacoepidemiology from August 23-27, 2023 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Members of PETS are intimately involved at ICPE, where they are involved in the teaching of skills courses, presentation of research through symposiums and workshops, and poster presentations. This year, PETS is pleased to feature many talented faculty and staff at the conference, including Past and Present Presidents of ISPE. Please see below for a list of all courses, posters, and presentations and symposiums presented by PETS at the 2023 ICPE.
