Overview

Join us for this popular conference designed to provide physicians, pharmacists, and other health professionals with up-to-date, evidence-based, practical information on prescription drug therapy.

Although primarily aimed at prescribers (MD’s, NP’s) and pharmacists, this course will appeal to any health professional who wants to learn and think about the scientific evidence behind what we should or should not be doing with prescription drugs.

Lots of interaction: discussion periods following lectures, and small group case-based workshops that facilitate skill building for individual practitioners and for people working in interdisciplinary teams.

Note that this conference is not supported by industry funding.

Comments from previous years:

• “Wonderful speakers and first rate talks. Particularly enjoyed the honesty and scientific data about the drugs and the therapeutics.”
• “Probably the most relevant and well presented presentations of any medical conference I’ve been to.”
• “Practical pearls on evidence , guidelines and practice.”

7.25 MOC Section 1 Mainpro+ credits and CCCEP credits will be available.
