Firsts, Seconds, & Favorites at the 2020 Midwest Pharmacy Expo
Expo Recap
On February 7-9, 2020, nearly 300 pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and student pharmacists from 17 states met at the Hilton Des Moines Downtown for the 2020 Midwest Pharmacy Expo. For the third year in a row, Expo Friday featured Clinically Intensive Workshops. These popular sessions feature high-level, clinically focused programming with topics this year covering chronic care management of diabetes and anticoagulation and medication misconceptions. Saturday took off with two Industry Symposium Breakfasts, followed by a keynote address on leading and working with a multigenerational team. The themes of the five breakout session tracks included innovative practice, challenging cases, nutrition/wellness, and professional roles and skills. Expo wrapped up on Sunday with long-time favorites including New Drug Update, and Gamechangers in Pharmacy. In between those two sessions was a very informative session on navigating the challenge of drug shortages. This year, not only were several Saturday sessions recorded, but all of Sunday’s sessions were included in IPA’s Expo On Demand package. Recordings of those sessions are available through CEImpact. Details on accessing the recorded sessions are available at www.iarx.org/ midwestpharmacyexpo.
