Drug Interactions Phase 3: Live Workshop

Drug Interactions Photo Banner

Phase 3 of CAPhO’s Drug Interactions Program is an in-person or virtual, accredited, live Workshop held in conjunction with the CAPhO Conference.

In small groups, you will work through drug interaction cases with the support of expert facilitators. The cases will be typical of clinically relevant drug interactions you will encounter in oncology pharmacy practice. You and your group will make a series of decisions including: interpretation of the drug interaction resource information; prioritization of drug interactions; development of a pharmaceutical care plan including a recommendation, clinical rationale, and communication of your plan; and creation of a patient follow up and/or monitoring plan.

As you will need a basic understanding of several key concepts per case so that you can take advantage of the discussion format that occurs in teams during the Workshop, the authors provide pre-readings and short webinars for you to review before starting the Workshop. Members, view past Workshop Drug Interactions Resources (you need to log in to have access).

The 2022 Drug Interactions Workshop was taken place virtually on Sunday, October 23.
