"I think the resident programming is very valuable! I really appreciated the diversity in perspectives of panel speakers across clinical areas and practice sites, and the BCPP session was really helpful to decide on the prep materials and how to study before the exam.”

	Pre-Meeting Workshop: Leadership Forum (Saturday, 4/25) The pharmacy and health care professions are experiencing a unique period of transition offering great opportunities.
