Residency directors, preceptors and residents from HealthNet, Health Plan of San Joaquin (HPSJ) and Blue Shield of California joined the students in sharing their experiences in managed care, their particular residency programs and demystified their job description.

AMCP-Pacific chapter hosted the 2014 Western Regional Conference in Sacramento this past weekend (June 28th-29th). We were proud to have over 100 pharmacists and pharmacy students from UOP, USC, Loma Linda, Touro, Western University of Health Sciences, California Northstate University, UCSD, UCSF and University of Washington. With a theme of "Advancing Healthcare Through Reform and Collaboration", the conference included speaker events, a residency panel, and a round table dinner which were all geared toward students. A few highlighted speaker event topics in terms of legislation were "Healthcare Reform", "Collaboration Across Healthcare" and "Implementation of SB493". It was an exciting success for AMCP-Pacific and a great way to promote our profession.
