Held March 24-27, the event brought together the nations leading pharmacy professionals, clinicians, researchers and educators in San Francisco, California.

Jodi McCaffrey (COP, 17), Sara Tyburski (COP, 17) and Dan Mickool, R.Ph., M.S., Ed.D. candidate, director of continuing education in the College of Pharmacy and clinical instructor in Pharmacy Practice, presented A three-year evaluation of collaborative care between pharmacy and medicine.

The team then looked at the types of interventions made in a collaborative practice environment in which physicians and pharmacists work together.

Jodi and Sara have been a vital part of the research team, said Mickool. They have helped to drive the recommendations and the actual patient teaching that results from the changes in therapy.
