Keeping Pace in Changing Times
The Board of Directors for the Wyoming Pharmacy Association would like to invite you to attend the 92nd Annual Convention at the Ramada Plaza Riverside in Casper, Wyoming June 26-27, 2009.
This years fast paced convention is going to focus on areas that will assist in keeping pace in these changing times. To be cost conscious, the Board has worked hard to provide everything in two jam packed days instead of three. There will be 11 hours of live ACPE education, family night with BBQ and mini golf, golf tournament, University of Wyoming School of Pharmacy Benefit Auction, WPhA/WSHP Awards Presentations, and social times to interact with colleagues, friends, vendors and family. The educational sessions will include topics such as Cease Smoking Today, Prescription Drug Abuse, New Drug Update, Board of Pharmacy Law Update, and USP797. Pharmacists will receive ACPE education credits and technicians will receive WPhA continuing education credits.
This year we will be offering a poster session for sharing unique practice ideas and/or other information you have found to be beneficial at your practice site. Some of the vendors this year will include AmerisourceBergen, McKesson, Pharmacists Mutual Companies, Rx-Plus Pharmacies, and Walgreens. The WPhA Board appreciates all of the support received from these vendors.
There is still time to nominate a colleague for the Wyoming Pharmacist of the Year, Wyoming Technician of the Year, Bowl of Hygeia, Distinguished Young Pharmacist, and Innovative Pharmacy Practice. These awards will be presented on Saturday, June 27, 2009.
The Board looks forward to seeing you in Casper. Your involvement in WPhA assists Wyoming pharmacists and technicians in continuing to improve the profession of pharmacy.
Fight4rx.org
On February 1, NCPA is launching the Fight4Rx campaign (www.fight4rx.org) to educate patients about the value of community pharmacy, and to recruit them as activists for the protection of community pharmacy in Congress during the health care reform debate. To make Fight4Rx successful, we need pharmacists nationwide to begin recruiting patients today. The sign-up form is available for download at http://www.pharmacistelink.com/Fight4Rx_Flyer.pdf until the February 1 launch date. Ask your patients to fill out the form in your pharmacy and return it to you directly. As you receive completed forms, fax them back, either daily or weekly to NCPA at 703-683-3619.
