Symposium on Advances in Pharmacy
Practice, a continuing pharmacy
educational program, developed for pharmacists to be kept

provides the most current continuing education on newly
approved drugs presented by the foremost authorities in
the field. Daniel A. Hussar, PhD, will present New Drugs
of 2012 and Steve Sheaffer, PharmD, FASHP will present
