The Southwest Iowa Pharmacists Association is proud to have coordinated over 100 programs during the past 20 years. Almost all of the programs were accredited for continuing education by the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education (ACPE) in cooperation with the Iowa Pharmacy Association. Three of the programs attracted audiences of over 300 pharmacists, technicians, and student pharmacists. Our largest event attracted 445 audience members, including one US Congressman. The program was held in August of 2005 at Harrah’s in Council Bluffs. It was titled “The New Medicare Benefit” and presented by the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) and was cosponsored by our Association. SIPA also assisted in the coordination of this program. This forum, one of many presented by NCPA throughout the country, was the best attended of all of NCPA’s Medicare forums. Its audience size surpassed all other program sites, including New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Download in Word( |
