ABOUT IPA RESIDENTS MEETING:
Each year, IPA brings Iowa’s resident pharmacists, residency program directors, and preceptors together for a one-day networking event. Residents have the opportunity to meet each other and IPA leadership, discuss their projects and today's healthcare issues, as well as the initiatives that IPA is spearheading. A majority of the day’s programming is devoted to understanding the role of the association in helping to advance pharmacy practice in Iowa.
