KPhA Fall Conference: Keep Pharmacy Moving
"Nothing happens until something moves." While it might feel cliche to quote Albert Einstein, this indisputable scientific fact--the physics of motion and movement--was our inspiration for this year's Fall Conference. Pharmacy is ever-changing, but preparation, knowledge, and wisdom are useless without action because action is the starting point of all progress. We hope you'll join us in Louisville for this year's Fall Conference and keep pharmacy moving forward together. Earn up to nine hours of CE! Breakfast, Lunch, and Happy Hour on Friday are included. Registration is NOW OPEN!Read all of KPhA Fall Conference: Keep Pharmacy Moving
