Monday, October 14, 2024 from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM MST
Available for 1.50 hours of CPE credit
Activity Type: A Knowledge-Based Activity
Community pharmacists are the most accessible health care providers who are locally based and have a long-standing involvement in public health initiatives; however, many of these services may be underutilized due to a lack of awareness. This session will shed light on some of these services, including 1) Dispensing naloxone and providing administration education, 2) Offering nicotine cessation/vaping education, 3) Aligning vaccines (or other public health services) to social needs screenings and/or integration of community health workers into practice.
