The Midwest Social and Administrative Pharmacy Conference has a rich history that traces back to its inaugural event in 1985. The first gathering, known as the Midwest Pharmacy Administration Conference, was organized and hosted by faculty at Purdue University. This initial meeting took place at a pivotal time when the history of pharmacy administration as a discipline was coalescing. The conference stemmed from a recognition that pharmacy schools and graduate programs in the Midwest played a crucial role in shaping and fostering the early development of this discipline.
This is Iowa’s third time hosting the conference and we are excited to welcome guests to our new College of Pharmacy building and the Iowa City community!
