Continuing Education Opportunities For Participants At NACDS Pharmacy & Technology Conference
August 14, 2003
31 Education Sessions Offer Pharmacy Executives Practical Information on Running an Efficient, Safe and Trusted Business
The practice of pharmacy means giving patients the best care possible while at the same time managing the demands of a hectic business. To help executives effectively meet the demands of their pharmacy businesses and stay informed, the NACDS Foundation will host more than 30 education sessions ranging from enhancing medication adherence in America's seniors and illegal importation of prescription drugs to caregivers and product choices. Conference participants will get the chance to delve into a myriad of issues and earn continuing education credit at the same time.
For the first time conference attendees will be able to receive all their continuing education credit through an online system powered by RxSchool. The user-friendly system provides conference participants an easy and secure way to track and store their continuing education credits. All the information will be available on www.nacdsfoundation.org.
All sessions will be held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center and the Media are invited to attend all education sessions. See below for a list of programs that are open to the press:
