Exploring Medication Safety: New ISMP Best Practices for Community Pharmacy

Home Study Webinar

$20 Activity Fee – available through June 1, 2026.

During this webinar, participants will learn about ISMP’s new 2023-2024 Targeted Medication Safety Best Practices for Community Pharmacy and why they were selected for national action. The goal of these best practices is to inspire and mobilize board members, board staff, and practitioners from around the United States in the national adoption of specific consensus-based safe practices selected to prevent repetitive medication safety issues in community pharmacies that continue to cause harmful or fatal errors to patients.
