Collaborative Conversations with Athena Cannon - March: Look Alike/Sound Alike Medications and the Case of Bobby Portis Jr

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 surrounding the suspension of Bobby Portis Jr due to mixing up Tramadol with Toradol, how this could be prevented in the future, and other prohibited medications that may be at risk of Look ALIKE/Sound ALIKE mistakes.

This session is open to all USSPG members! No or minimal prep is needed to attend this session, just bring your perspective and experience!

Registration Required through Webex.
