Pharmacy teams finally had an opportunity to showcase our many talents and skills with the recent COVID-19 pandemic.

Attendees of this session will gain an understanding of how to identify additional opportunities for expansion of patient-centered services related to POCT. Learners will discuss implementation steps for test-to-treat services and current legislation that impacts these services in pharmacy practice.
