Every spring, leaders from APhA’s three Academies—APhA–APPM, APhA–APRS, and APhA–ASP—and the APhA New Practitioner Advisory Committee (NPAC), get together for a long weekend to plan for the upcoming year. During this time, they focus on developing goals and objectives that will guide APhA toward achieving its vision of inspiring, innovating, and creating opportunities for members and pharmacists worldwide to optimize medication use and health for all. This year, I had the opportunity to attend as NPAC Member-at-large and represent new practitioners.
