Student Pharmacists Volunteer at 3rd Annual Capitol Hill Health Fair
APhA is seeking volunteers to serve as mentors for our newest member benefit Mentor360: Practice Collaboratives. APhA’s group-based mentor program focuses on bringing pharmacists together to fuel innovation and progress toward advancing pharmacy practice. Practice Collaboratives bring together a 2-4 person panel of experts on a defined topic area to serve as mentors to a small cohort of pharmacists (10-20 people) interested in learning and refining their pharmacy practice in the given topic area. Interactions between the cohort and experts will occur virtually via webinars and a closed community on the Engage platform where mentors can share their tips for advancing practice and pharmacist participants can ask questions to help break down barriers to their successful implementation. A Practice Collaborative will form to focus on defined components of precepting. Please complete the interest form if you would like to participate in this offering as either a mentor or mentee. Visit www.pharmacist.com/Mentor360 for additional information.
