CPS Town Hall:
Pharmacy Professional Well Being – Are we Well?

Tuesday, February 23, 2021
5:00PM - 6:00PM

Well… Are we? Do you feel energized and optimistic about your career? Or burned out and discouraged? Maybe somewhere in between….. Let’s start an open discussion about how we, as pharmacy professionals, are doing. Join CPS and a panel of contributors from APhA, CO Schools of Pharmacy, CO Peer Assistance, CPS leadership and more. Let’s talk about where we are, where we want to go, and how CPS can help. Open to ALL pharmacy professionals (pharmacists, techs, students) in CO, CPS members or not!
