Our Mission

Pharmacy Times^® Clinical Forum events are roundtable discussions in specific therapeutic areas led by specialized practitioners and designed to share their real-world experiences and best practices. Pharmacy Times recaps discussions and creates articles and content to be featured in Pharmacy Times print publications and on pharmacytimes.com. 

With the goal of advancing clinical outcomes and improving patient care, Pharmacy Times offers the latest news and insights for the pharmacy professional, along with solutions that impact the everyday practice of pharmacy. Our family of print publications, digital resources, and live events such as Clinical Forum discussions offer countless opportunities for expanding and sharing knowledge among pharmacy professionals.

Meeting Objectives:

• Identify common breakdowns in bridge program execution, including E1 transaction errors, MBI/Medicare card verification, and misuse of SSN-based inputs, and outline workflow practices used by high-performing pharmacies to avoid them.  

• Examine the patient journey following a bridge denial, including self-pay uptake, abandonment risk, and potential alternative coverage or indication pathways.  

• Discuss real-world considerations in anti-obesity therapy selection and continuity, including formulary re-entry, dose-related efficacy distinctions, and pharmacist-observed patterns in tolerability and treatment persistence.  

Engaging with peers on scientific advancements, innovative treatment protocols, and effective patient management approaches.

Discovering implementation strategies from leading institutions and centers of excellence that have transformed patient outcomes.

Building valuable and professional relationships with fellow specialists that extend beyond the event.
