TTUHSC - 30th Anniversary Celebration


Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Celebration daylong Continuing Education Event! 
 
We are excited that you have decided to spend your day with us.  The day will begin with three amazing keynote presentations from alumni of our School of Pharmacy.  They will speak on a variety of topics and I am confident you will find their words inspirational.  After lunch and networking we will have five different tracks for you to choose from (or you can jump between tracks). 
 
The tracks include community/ambulatory care, hospital/acute care, education, research, and staff development.  Most presentations will be 15 minutes in length to allow for small learning burst and allow you to hear from multiple speakers on multiple topics throuhgout the afternoon.  
 
Below you will find all of the programs that will be offered throughout the day and to claim credit, you will simply select the programs you attended, enter the CE code you received at the end of the presentation, and the complete the required evaluation.  All credit will automatically be sent to your CPE Monitor.
 
Thanks again for your interest in this programming!
