Welcome back to AUSTIN!
We are thrilled to invite pharmacists and technicians back to Austin, Texas, where The University of Texas at Austin College of Pharmacy will host the 70th Annual Pharmacy Practice Seminar (PPS). PPS will return to in-person learning on September 24-25 at the DoubleTree Hotel in Austin, Texas (with an optional Immunization event on September 23). It is sure to be an outstanding event as we celebrate the 70th Anniversary of PPS (formerly known as the Pharmacy Post-Graduate Seminar) and pay tribute to its incredible evolution over the past seven decades. In support of our mission to make PPS accessible to all pharmacy learners, PPS registrants will also have the choice to attend PPS online via live Zoom webinar.
The Pharmacy Practice Seminar is still one of the largest in-person continuing pharmacy education gatherings in the state – and beyond! And just as you have come to expect, the PPS agenda is jam-packed with interesting topics, engaging speakers, and all of the current TSBP topic requirements. There are 20+ continuing education hours available to registrants this year, which allows people some flexibility to choose topics that best fit their own practice needs (please see the Agenda page for specific details regarding live and home study sessions).
OPTIONAL Virtual Participation
Participants have the option to view the entire PPS live event virtually via Zoom webinar, instead of attending PPS in-person in Austin, Texas. When you register for PPS, you will have the opportunity to indicate your attendance preference: In-Person / Austin Texas or Virtual/Zoom Webinar. Worried your plans may change after you register? You will have until September 1 to indicate your final attendance plans (to make changes to your attendance plans before September 1, please email our office: UTpharmacyCE@austin.utexas.edu). Instructions for virtual participation are summarized on the PPS Registration Site and more detailed instructions are outlined in the Virtual PPS Zoom Webinar Instructions.
