Course Description
As we are unable to safely hold a face to face conference at this time, we are splitting our one-day event into two half days of a live, virtual conference via Zoom Webinar. View the other event.
Join us today to update your pharmacological knowledge with new diabetic medications and use of diabetic medications with comorbid conditions; interactions of herbal and over the counter medications with prescription medication; cardiac medications for heart failure and new pulmonary medications.
