Welcome to my recap of the Ohio Pharmacists Association (OPA) Annual Conference April 14-16, 2023. The theme was “Reimagining Pharmacy.”

I loved earning CE, spending time with friends, and meeting new people at the 2023 OPA Annual Conference. I look forward to attending again in 2024. Please come up and say hello to me if you attend!
