- Nov. 16 – Mental Health First Aid Training, online. Pharmacy team members are more likely to encounter a mental health episode than a situation requiring basic life support or CPR. This live, online training course will help attendees identify, understand, and respond to people in need of this assistance. Registration closes on Nov. 14. Learn more and register.
- Nov. 16 – How to Improve Cash Flow NOW with Your Sync Program, part of our Rapid Relief Revenue Learning Hour initiative. When preparing for the approaching DIR hangover, pharmacy teams should bear in mind that some of the cash flow they need is likely sitting on their shelves. Enrolling patients on high-dollar drugs in a medication synchronization program can help put those dollars back into the bank account. Learn more and register.
Registration is open for the Pathways to Pharmacy Ownership cohort kicking off in early 2024. This year-long program, launched by NCPA and the Minority Pharmacist Entrepreneur Conference in 2022, supports and encourages independent pharmacy ownership among historically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. The application deadline is Nov. 30, 2023. Learn more and apply.
