Are you the type of person that
likes to be informed of all that is going on in both your personal and
professional life? Do you stay connected through Facebook® or Twitter®, or use
your cell phone to stay in touch with friends and colleagues? Well now is your
chance to Get Linked into Leadership. Connect with other colleagues in St.
Charles, MO for the ICHP/MSHP Spring Meeting on April 14-16, 2011.
This
past November, a group of pharmacy leaders met in Dallas for the Pharmacy
Practice Model Initiative (PPMI). Now is the time for Pharmacy to take a
leadership role in the provision of care to improve patient outcomes. Listen to
three PPMI participant leaders to learn more about the PPMI and the vision set
for pharmacy practice.
In line with this year’s focus on leadership, the
keynote speaker will be addressing how to incorporate emotional intelligence
(EI) in the workplace in order to improve communication and get results. Dr.
Carol Rudman specializes in improving the performance of top management,
enhancing the abilities of supervisory personnel, and increasing communication
among all employees. A dynamic and much sought-after presenter, she both designs
and delivers customized training programs and keynote speeches. Dr. Rudman is an
author on various topics related to effective work management. Following the
keynote, Dr. Rudman will be facilitating a workshop on EI.

Get linked into what other health-systems are doing in
both Illinois and Missouri by attending the Poster Session. Better yet, submit a
poster yourself! Demonstrate the leadership you have taken at your own
institution. This is a great way to introduce a program at a state level and get
practice for submitting to a national meeting.
Though pharmacy
technicians and students can take part in all educational activities during the
meeting, there will be special sessions just for you. Reduced registration fees
are available for technicians and students, so bring a friend. Be sure to also
take advantage of the early bird rates!
Pharmacy preceptors and students
can take advantage of a 50% discount on full meeting registration! That’s right
– a member pharmacist preceptor and their member student can attend the Spring
Meeting for only $130 instead of $260 (early bird rate). The student should be
on rotation with you at the time of the meeting. This is a deal you just can’t
refuse. It is ICHP’s way to thank all those pharmacists out there who are
serving as preceptors.
So join us in beautiful St. Charles, Missouri and
Get Linked into Leadership!
