Travel Misadventures, CBE Trekkies, and Seeing Around Corners - Meetings Recap 2024

The Fika Crew share their pharmacy educator meeting experiences at the Monash Pharmacy Education Symposium in Prato, Italy, and the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Annual Meeting in Boston, MA.  Kristin shares her travel misadventures, Tina wants to turn the "dark caves" of convention centers into "delightful" learning spaces, Jeff is positively effusive about the Aspiring Academics graduates, and Stuart can't tell the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek.  It's all there ... in a single epidose ... plus the AACP Argus Forecast and more. _______________________ Resources Allen DD, Lin AYF, Haines ST, Sorensen TD, Melchert RB, Blouin RA, Austin Z, Moore GD, Poloyac SM, Vermeulen LC.

Needless to say, they are ours and our guests alone, and not those of our employing institutions. Even though we don’t accept advertising and don’t have any sponsors, we seem to mention Trader Joe’s snacks and various water-based drinks a LOT.
