The four tracks, each consist of four hours of content specific to 503As or 503Bs. delivered with the unique PharmaSalon ideology of learning through conversation. In addition to learning from the expert faculty, attendees will swap stories of their own successes and failures through facilitated discussions that enable the peer-to-peer learning that is the signature of PharmaSalon events. Due to online meeting burnout, PharmaSalon created this format and offers attendees the ability to download and receive CE both pharmacists and technician credits for a full month after the live event. Vivian Juter Frankel, CEO of PharmaSalon explains “We know that digital meetings over several days can be exhausting. So instead of asking participants to login over four solid days we designed the event so participants can join live the topics most important to them, the ones they want to ask questions and talk to speakers and colleagues about. Other topics of interest can be listened to over the course of the month and the viewer can still receive CE credit for it.”
