Activity Type: A Knowledge-Based Activity
This session will focus on the advancements in community pharmacy over the past several years. We want to highlight examples of how the community pharmacists career has transformed from a product focused role to a patient focused role. We will dive into expanded services such as LAIA administration, point of care testing, COVID-19 testing, pharmacogenomic testing and others. This will be a session helpful for those in ACCP unaware of all that is happening in the community-based setting, but also for those practicing in community that are interested in starting or expanding services. We would like to have a speakers from different levels of their careers, so a resident or new practitioner to discuss how they are encountering new services at the beginning of their career, someone in the middle of their career and someone towards the end. We would like to showcase different viewpoints from all and how the changing landscape of community pharmacy has impacted their careers and their day to day lives.
