2015 Preliminary Program 3 Education that will lift your business. Compounding educational opportunities available to all attendees at the 2015 NCPA Convention.

Opportunities in Dermatology Saturday, October 10, 2015 • Morning Session

Opportunities in Ear, Nose, and Throat Saturday, October 10, 2015 • Afternoon Session

Many medical conditions from the head to the throat require pharmaceutical care. This afternoon session will focus on educating the pharmacist about the often chronic and recurring conditions affecting their patients, such as otitis media, otitis externa, nasal polyps and pharyngitis as well as oral conditions such as lichen planus, aphthous ulcers, and burning mouth. Another focus will be on oral mucositis, a widespread and potentially serious consequence of high-dose chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Finally, another issue affecting many of our patients is chronic sinusitis. ENT doctors often struggle with treating these patients and are looking for innovative and viable new treatment alternatives.
