AMCP’s Beth O’Brien Shares Insights for Managed Care Pharmacy Professionals
Dear AMCP Community,
Can you believe we are one month away from #AMCP2024 in New Orleans? We are so excited to host four days full of networking, education, and collaboration.
Our annual meeting is not only a great opportunity to spark innovation, but it’s a time to celebrate you, our managed care pharmacy (MCP) community. We recently launch a campaign called “We Are MCPs" to celebrate our superhero managed care pharmacy professionals and celebrate the diversity of our AMCP member voices and their unique contributions to America’s health. Onsite we’ll have an interactive mosaic wall featuring selfies of our amazing MCPs. Get in on the action by submitting a photo today and your image will show up on our interactive community wall in New Orleans!
The MCP love isn’t stopping there! Check out our Instagram filter and MCP Superpower challenge on our #WeAreMCPs microsite. and share with our networks!
Our MCP community is full of amazing professionals working hard to shape patient care and we want to hear from you. Join the movement today and take a look at what's happening in the world of MCPs!
