This year’s Convention theme is a reminder that transformation begins in mindset.
Too many of us are sitting on ideas and gifts that our communities desperately need because we are waiting for someone to tell us we are ready.
But we don't have to wait.
We have the knowledge and the numbers to stop waiting on systems that were never designed with us in mind.
When you decide to lead boldly and act with purpose, you become the spark that ignites change.
Session Highlights
The CE lineup is here, and it's exactly what we need.
Here's a SNEAK PEEK of what’s coming:
"Mommy, Are You Ok?", The Pharmacist's Role in Decreasing Disparities in Maternal Health Outcomes
Speaker: Trishia E Shaw, PharmD, BCPS, BCACP
Black women are dying at alarming rates from pregnancy-related complications. This session equips pharmacists with the tools to show up for pregnant and postpartum patients to help close disparities in maternal care.
Beyond Schedule I: Understanding the Reclassification of Marijuana in American Drug Policy
Speaker: Jewell Reddick, PharmD, Esq
Federal marijuana policy just changed. Do you know what that means? This session breaks down the science, law, and social equity implications of marijuana's historic move from Schedule I to Schedule III, and what pharmacists need to know right now.
Dispensing Justice: The Role of Black Pharmacists in Advancing Social Justice and Civil Rights
Speaker: John E Clark, PharmD
The pharmacy counter has always been more than a place to pick up prescriptions. This session explores the powerful and often untold history of Black pharmacists at the intersection of healthcare, civil rights, and social justice.
More sessions are coming; stay tuned!
