This session aims to provide today’s clinicians with effective strategies for addressing local and global health challenges. By focusing on building partnerships, navigating policies with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and government organizations, and establishing on-the-ground community collaborations, participants can contribute to advancing equitable pharmacy practice, improving preventive and medical service, on a local and global scale. Learners will engage with presenters through case examples and live polling over three presentations.
