The ASHP Summer Meeting is where the association provides continuing education credits through intensive skill development in emerging pharmacy concerns, kicks off its calendar year with the inauguration of new officers and board members, and hosts the proceedings of the House of Delegates.
Attracting more than 3,000 pharmacy professionals from leadership, managerial, and supervisory roles in health-system practice, the meeting is also a gathering of leaders representing state pharmacy societies. Educational programming is structured around hot topics, series (stand-alone sessions focusing on key aspects of a single topic), and learning communities (tracks of plenary and breakout sessions within a specific topic). The meeting also includes poster presentations and an exhibit program.
While gathered for this event, the ASHP Board of Directors, elected officers, and state affiliate leaders conduct business essential to ASHP’s governance and mission. Pharmacy leaders representing each state gather in the House of Delegates to propose new ASHP policies and discuss current issues in health-system pharmacy practice.
