Take a look at the top-notch speakers at #VirtualPharmEd:
Dayna Matthew, J.D., Ph.D. Monday, July 13 1:00 p.m.–2:30 p.m. ET
Racial, ethnic and socioeconomic health disparities in the United States are well documented but the causes are still poorly understood. At the Opening General Session, Dayna Matthew will identify some causes that are uniquely within reach of pharmacists to address. Along with their educators, they can defeat unjust and avoidable health disparities as they are often the most accessible and trusted healthcare professional available to underserved patient populations. Now is the time to fight for inclusion, equality and accessibility, and Dr. Matthew believes AACP members hold the key to the prescription for this important cause. Anthony P. Morreale, Pharm.D. MBA, BCPS, FASHP
Friday, July 17 1:00 p.m.–2:00 p.m. ET
Demand for clinical pharmacists in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has risen sharply and continues its upward trajectory. During the Friday General Session, Dr. Morreale will share the advances in clinical pharmacy practice that have been seen in the past 10 years by the largest managed care provider in the U.S.: the VA. The VA’s approach to expanding clinical pharmacy programs through centralized processes involving gap analysis, standardization of practices, mentoring, consultative visits and education has been innovative and largely successful. Nathan Price, Ph.D. Monday, July 20 Noon-1:00 p.m. ET
Innovative Solutions at Your Fingertips Attendees will have the opportunity to make connections with more than 30 sponsors and exhibitors by visiting their virtual exhibit booth.

AACP greatly appreciates the support from our meeting sponsors, whose contributions made this event possible:
Healthcare is becoming more proactive and data-rich, with increasing focus on maintaining and enhancing wellness beyond just reacting to disease. At the Science Plenary, Dr. Price will discuss how the Institute of Systems Biology interpreted a data set of thousands of people who participated in a “scientific wellness” program, integrating genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbiomes, clinical chemistries and wearable devices coupled with health coaching for behavior change. The interpretation of these data led to actionable findings for individuals to improve health, reduce risk drivers of disease, understand how genetic risk manifests in the body throughout life and show individual trajectories into disease.
