The annual FIP World Congress is one of the most significant gatherings of pharmacy professionals, scholars and researchers worldwide. It provides a forum for advancing science, education, practice and workforce development within the profession.
Recently, faculty from Samford University’s McWhorter School of Pharmacy, Michael Thomas and Angela Thomason, presented posters highlighting innovative approaches to pharmacy education and research, reflecting the school’s commitment to preparing graduates who are equipped to meet the evolving needs of health care.
“Samford Pharmacy has a regional, national and international impact,” said Michael Crouch, dean of McWhorter School of Pharmacy. “Faculty have been heavily involved in both the International Pharmaceutical Federation and the Asian Conference on Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP).”
Earlier this year, Jonathan Thigpen, associate professor and assistant dean for the Doctor of Pharmacy program, also presented a poster at ACCP in Bali, Indonesia. ACCP was initiated at Samford in 1997 and now takes place annually throughout Asia, attracting more than 750 participants each year.
