This year’s Convention theme is a reminder that transformation begins in mindset.
Too many of us are sitting on ideas and gifts that our communities desperately need because we are waiting for someone to tell us we are ready.
But we don't have to wait.
We have the knowledge and the numbers to stop waiting on systems that were never designed with us in mind.
When you decide to lead boldly and act with purpose, you become the spark that ignites change.
Rxvolution: One Vision. One Voice. One Future.
Session Highlights
The CE lineup is here, and it's exactly what we need.
Here's a SNEAK PEEK of what’s coming:
The Digital Co-Pharmacist: AI in Primary Care
Ogechi Ubanyionwu, PharmD, BCACP
Harris Health System, Houston
SESSION OVERVIEW
This session shows how AI is reshaping primary care workflows, where it adds clinical value, where it falls short, and how to integrate it without losing the human judgment patients depend on.
Deserted and in Need: Uncovering the Challenges of Pharmacy Deserts
Kimberly Kue-Tsemo, PharmD
GW Cancer Center, Washington, DC
SESSION OVERVIEW
Millions of Americans live in pharmacy deserts, and the people most affected are the ones who can least afford the consequences. This session names the structural drivers behind pharmacy closures, and what they mean for medication access and health outcomes.
Dispensing Justice: The Role of Black Pharmacists in Advancing Social Justice and Civil Rights
John E. Clark, PharmD, M.S., FASHP, FFSHP
University of South Florida Taneja College of Pharmacy
SESSION OVERVIEW
Black pharmacists have shaped American civil rights history in ways most of the profession has never been taught. This session recovers that history and connects it to the work we are called to do today: advancing justice through the practice of pharmacy.
Nothing but the Blues? Depression in Black Communities
Thea Moore, PharmD, BCPP, FAAPP
University of South Florida Taneja College of Pharmacy
SESSION OVERVIEW
Depression in Black communities is too often missed, mislabeled, or dismissed as something else entirely. This session names what gets in the way of diagnosis and treatment, and shows pharmacists how to be part of the answer through accurate assessment, culturally competent counseling, and trusted patient relationships.
The ART of Standardization: Impact of a Pharmacist-Led Antiretroviral Formulary Protocol on HIV management
Nicholas Rebold, PharmD, MPH, BCIDP, AAHIVP
Howard University College of Pharmacy
SESSION OVERVIEW
Antiretroviral therapy is too high-stakes to leave to inconsistent prescribing. This session walks through what happens when pharmacists take the lead on formulary protocol design, and the patient outcomes that follow. Practical, evidence-based, and built for real-world implementation.
