Save the Date: 2010 MPA Annual Convention & Exposition, Feb. 26-28, 2010

The 2010 MPA Annual Convention & Exposition will be held Feb. 26-28, 2010, at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center. The convention provides more than 60 continuing education programs; an exhibit hall to network with pharmacy professionals and learn of new products and services; and a banquet and awards ceremony to honor leaders in Michigan pharmacy.

MPA provides special educational programming for student pharmacists covering a wide range of topics. This year, some program topics of interest include financial planning and CV and resume writing skills. There will also be special events for those attending from the three colleges of pharmacy, including the Michigan Society of Health-System Pharmacists (MSHP) luncheon; a Student Social, where student pharmacists will be encouraged to support their college by wearing their school’s colors; and a Self-Care Challenge. Students may also participate in the Adopt-a-Student program where they are “adopted” by pharmacy professionals to establish an ongoing networking relationship. Specific programming and event information, including registration, will be on MPA’s Web site as it becomes available.
