February 26: Student Pharmacist Virtual Legislative Day
Please join us for Student Pharmacists Virtual Legislative Day on Friday, February 26, 2021. Registration is now OPEN!
Ohio Pharmacists Association Student Pharmacist Virtual Legislative Day is an advocacy event that affords student pharmacists the opportunity to meet with legislators to educate them about pharmacy-related issues and the value of the pharmacist. Pre-event videos will educate you on the legislative process and teach you how to advocate for your profession to prepare you to engage with your senator and representatives. We will discuss updates from the Ohio Department of Medicaid, new laws, PBM reform efforts, and other critical pharmacy issues. This program will allow you to become involved in the issues impacting Ohio pharmacy practice.
Event capacity is 500 total participants. Registration deadline for the event is January, 28, 2021. If capacity is reached before February 12, registration will automatically close. Register Now!
There are big pharmacy issues coming up, and we need your help to stand up for pharmacists!
