Members of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy are invited to submit topics for roundtable discussions held on Sunday, July 23, Monday, July 24, and Tuesday, July 25 at Pharmacy Education 2023 in Aurora, Colorado.
The roundtable sessions are intended for informal discussions of pressing current topics important to the Academy. They provide a venue to both share and learn from other colleges and schools.
New This Year: To ensure additional members from across the Academy have an opportunity to share their work at the Annual Meeting, individuals serving as speakers for mini-sessions, special sessions, or SIG and Section programs will not be eligible to facilitate a roundtable topic.
Deadline: Friday, April 7, 11:59 p.m. PST

- Objectives – Do the objectives indicate what information the participants will take away from the discussion?
