UW Madison School of Pharmacy faculty, staff, & graduate students have approximately 10 presentations and posters at the Academy Health #DIScience24 Conference! Look for our sessions on complex implementation strategies, OTC meds for older adults, a nationally recognized COPD EBP and FRAM modeling.
