Each October, American Pharmacists Month and National Pharmacy Week (October 19 – 25) celebrate the impact of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians on patient care.

In observance of the contributions pharmacy professionals make to improve the lives of individuals living with substance use disorders and chronic pain, MACS will host a live, virtual CME and CPE webinar on October 21.

Join our guest host Tyler Varisco, PharmD, PhD, assistant professor of health outcomes and the director of the Pharmacy Addictions Research & Medicine Program at The University of Texas at Austin College of Pharmacy , as he will present on “Closing the Loop: Transitions of Care for Persons With Opioid Use Disorder.”
