This lecture will qualify for 1-hour live CE credit for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. It can also fulfill 1 hour of LARA required implicit bias training for health care professionals.*

After attending, participants should be able to:

• describe health disparities and how they present in a pharmacy environment;
• implement strategies in pharmacy practice to decrease health disparities;
• apply methods to increase cultural competency and awareness when interacting with marginalized patients impacted by health inequities; and
• implement strategies to combat systemic racism within pharmacy practice.  

The presentation is offered in a hybrid format, both in person at the Wayne State Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, 259 Mack Ave., Detroit, and via Zoom. The Zoom link will be sent after registration is received.

Complete details and costs are available at the registration link.** Please email Emily Florance, Wayne State PharmD candidate, with questions.

*You may claim either the 1 hour live Continuing Education credit OR the Implicit Bias Training; Michigan LARA licensing does not allow claim to both. The $10 fee covers access to both LecturePanda CE and the Implicit Bias Training tests/certificate so you may decide at a later date which you would like to submit towards your license.  

**You will not be able to register online after 10 p.m. on April 12. If you would still like to attend, we ask you to join us in person and register there. We will also be limiting the number of online registrations to 275 people due to Zoom limitations and will be closing registration when we reach this point. Please email Emily with any questions.
