CELEBRATING IOWA PHARMACY

IPA’s 2022 Annual Meeting, the first in-person Annual Meeting since 2019, was packed with opportunities to make meaningful connections, share innovative ideas and advance pharmacy practice. This year’s meeting took place September 22-23 in Cedar Rapids with over 200 Iowa pharmacy professionals in attendance.

2022 keynote Bruce Berger, PhD, kicked off the meeting with a session on preventing self-deception and objectification in practice and everyday life. During two lively in-person House sessions, the 2022 House of Delegates debated policy surrounding the pharmacist’s role in HIV PrEP/PEP, Just Culture, forced dispensing, reimbursement, standard of care, and practice mobility (final policy statements listed on pg. 14). New this year, 2022-2023 IPA President Cheri Schmit and the Board of Trustees were installed over a Leadership Luncheon on Thursday. This year’s event also included a Residency Showcase of programs across the state and beyond with a Meet the Residents reception following.

Day 2 of the Annual Meeting featured a keynote panel of national pharmacy association leaders, including Christene Jolowsky, RPh, MS, Treasurer of ASHP, Michele Belcher, RPh, President of NCPA, and Wendy Mobley-Bukstein, PharmD, BCACP, CHWC, CDCES, FAPhA, President of APhA–APPM. The pharmacy leaders discussed ways the national organizations are strategically working to achieve health equity, as well as how individuals can help decrease disparities in their own communities.

Raising over $3,200 for the Iowa Pharmacy Political Action Committee (IPPAC) through the Pie-In-TheFace fundraiser, Kate Gainer took a pie in the face from President Schmit Friday afternoon. The meeting concluded with a Boosting Confidence in Communication workshop by Wixted & Co.
