Generation Rx is brought to the APhA New Practitioner Network through a collaboration with the Cardinal Health Foundation, The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy, and the APhA Foundation. Generation Rx is an educational program that increases public awareness of prescription medication abuse and encourages health care providers, community leaders, parents, teens, and college students to actively work to prevent abuse.
Participate in Generation Rx today.
With pharmacists as one of the most accessible and trusted members of the health care team, new practitioners have the opportunity to provide greater resources to their communities and their patients by providing education on the safe, appropriate use of dietary supplements. The presentation and resources are brought to the APhA New Practitioner Network with the support of Nature Made Nutritional Products and partnership of the APhA Foundation.
