Join the USSPG's Chair, Athena Cannon, as we gather monthly to have collaborative conversation about an interesting topic or question within Sports Pharmacy. Discussions have a goal of fostering idea generation to apply to your sports pharmacy journey, networking with members, and an opportunity to collaborate with others who share the same goals and interests. 

This month's conversation will be a discussion on the recent uptick in interest in Bovine Colostrum. We will be discussing why it is taken, it's efficacy, anti-doping considerations, and more!
