The theme for this year’s annual meeting was Inspire, Innovate, Integrate.

Larkin students and faculty participated in sessions across all tracks. Students were also joined by the Dean of the College, Gary M. Levin, Pharm.D., BCPP, FCCP as well as faculty members, Jordan Sedlacek, Pharm.D., BCACP, and Livia Machado, Pharm.D., Ph.D., BCPS.
