Event Details:

The 15th Pediatric Pharmacy Conference features well-known and respected practitioners and investigators.

Our Keynote Speakers are Drs. Julia Hurwitz and Karen Slobod from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. The St. Jude HIV vaccine project is bold in design and ambitious in its goal. These researchers heading up the project are creating a vaccine designed to overcome the problem of viral mutations that help HIV evade the human immune system. The St. Jude HIV vaccine program is unique in being the first to have advanced a multi-envelope vaccine strategy into clinical testing.

Dr. Cheston Berlin will receive the Sumner J. Yaffe Lifetime Achievement Award. PPAG will launch its newest recognition, the Richard A. Helms Excellence in Pediatric Pharmacy Practice.

Lorianne Wright, Julie Sinclair-Pingel, Christine Crossno, Amy Potts, and Alison Grisso from
Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee will receive a Best Practice Award for their work defining new roles and responsibilities for clinical pharmacy specialists in health-systems driven by technology.

Eloise Woodruff, Kim Huber, and James Dice of the Children's Hospital of The Kings Daughters in Norfolk, Virginia will also receive a Best Practice Award for their pharmacy based program to improve RSV Prophylaxis with Palivizumab.
