This 90-minute revised session will have 3 speakers who will present on the following topics. The first presentation will serve as a foundational presentation. It will provide an overview of the different types of public health emergencies, framework for responses, and the roles of government and nongovernment agencies and stakeholders. The second presentation will build upon and complement the first session via a continued focus on emergency management, but also narrowing to the role of the pharmacist in responding to natural and manmade natural disasters. Ideally, it will include an opportunity to engage with a presenter who has participated in large scale response efforts. The third presentation will serve as the transition to discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic. This session will focus on the practice challenges created by COVID-19 and subsequent innovations to ensure patient access to care. However, to align with the timeline of the meeting, presenters will also address outcomes from those challenge and information on changes that persisted past the acute emergency.
