Featured Speaker at “It’s a New World Conference 2020”

OctariusRx President and Consultant Pharmacist Victor Alves is a featured speaker at the “It’s a New World Conference 2020” and will be presenting: Hot Topics in Pharmacy.  He will discuss current pharmacy issues including updates to medication management, USP Chapters <797> (sterile compounding), <800> (hazardous drugs) and the impact of COVID-19.  He will provide practical tips for improving patient safety and survey success. 

It’s important to make the best use of your time and not miss valuable educational opportunities during any downtime you might have during the current crisis.  Even if you can’t be there in person the whole time – anyone that signs up gets a copy of the recording of the conference.

Use this time to improve your skills and learn some new things. This two day “Virtual Conference” will be held on April 14th and 17th.  We are requesting up to 14 AEUs for the two days through the Board of Ambulatory Surgery Certification (BASC) for CASC Certified Administrators.

Everyone that signs up will ALSO receive access to a recording of all of the sessions and the slides for the presentations.  So if you can’t attend in person all of both days, you can watch the recording at any time.
