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.
