60 student pharmacists to participate in NACDS’ RxIMPACT Day

A record-breaking 57 campuses will be represented by 60 student pharmacists at the 2020 National Association of Chain Drug Stores RxIMPACT Day on Capitol Hill. The event, which has reached every Congressional office in recent years with NACDS’ pro-pharmacy and pro-patient agenda, will be held March 10-11, 2020, in Washington, D.C.

They also prepare themselves for advocacy engagement that will advance their own professionalism while advancing accessible and quality care for patients.
