Susan’s engaging presentation includes a plethora of take-home “pearls” that you can use to teach your clients about their medications and how to protect them from potentially harmful, dangerous, or adverse effects. This conference will provide you with the most up-to-date medication information as well as tips on how to use it most effectively with your client.
