Essential Evidence Updates for Clinical Pharmacists: A Focus on Less Pharmacotherapy

In every clinical area, data is rapidly emerging often leaving clinicians with the task of trying to keep up while maintaining other responsibilities. This session aims to highlight emerging data across several clinical specialties (cardiology, asthma, gastrointestinal, central nervous system) allowing attendees to leave the session with a broad but comprehensive update. This will be accomplished with experts in their respective field having a limited time frame to present key data, focusing on situations in which less pharmacotherapy is now recommended. The goal for this program is for attendees to experience a well rounded, fast-paced update on evidence that may change their practice.
