IMPORTANT NOTE 2022:  We are happy to announce that we will continue to offer the option to attend live PPS via webinar even after we return to in-person live PPS.

2021 Pharmacy Practice Seminar •  At a Glance

How will the Pharmacy Practice Seminar (PPS) meet your needs – just take a look at the agenda!   PPS takes a balanced approach to make sure it meets the key educational needs for a wide variety of pharmacists and technicians. 

IMPORTANT:  The 2021 Sterile Compounding Update and Immunization Update are both included with PPS registration again this year, at no additional cost!  See more below.

2021 Sterile Compounding Update 

The format of the 2021 Sterile Compounding Update is completely different, new, and engaging!  The modules are shorter half-hour videos that allow you to easily fit learning into your busy schedule.   Content includes simulation videos and candid discussions that tackle issues commonly seen with all types of compounding.  This year’s update is stimulating for pharmacists/technicians who are newly certified and for veteran compounders alike!  There will be 4 CE hours available via On-Demand/Home Study.

2021 Immunization Update

The 2021 Immunization Update has significant enhancements based on participant feedback.  To start, all 3 hours of the Immunization Update will be offered LIVE this year, to give participants the opportunity to ask the presenter questions about updates to 2021 Immunization Schedules and ACIP / CDC recommendations.  Additionally, there is extra time built into the schedule this year, to accommodate more audience questions, application exercises, and open discussions with the presenter.  We know how valuable it is to have the opportunity to practice applying the new information by answering assessment questions and case-based scenarios – all of which will be included in this year’s immunization modules.  During these unprecedented times dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, it is more important than ever before for pharmacists to keep up with key information regarding immunizations/vaccinations.  There will be 3 CE hours available LIVE or On-Demand/Home Study.
