Don’t Blame Me, Blame ChatGPT: Recognizing Cognitive Debt in Pharmacy Education
Presented by Maddie Frye and Ryan Gibbard
This presentation explores the concept of cognitive debt in pharmacy education and how increasing reliance on tools like AI may contribute to cognitive offloading among learners. Attendees will examine common behaviors that signal when students may be depending too heavily on external tools rather than developing their own clinical reasoning and knowledge retention. The session will highlight how these habits can accumulate into cognitive debt, potentially affecting long-term competence and confidence in practice. Participants will learn practical strategies preceptors and educators can use to encourage deeper learning, strengthen critical thinking, and reduce cognitive debt among pharmacy learners.

The Whole Kidney and Caboodle: Incorporating Guideline-Based Recommendations to Identify and Manage Chronic Kidney Disease and Reduce Cardiovascular Risks
Presented by Lavinia Salama, PharmD, BCACP, BCGP, BC-ADM, CDCES - Clinical Assistant Professor at Long Island University, Arnold & Marie Schwartz College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences and Ambulatory Care Clinical Pharmacist at One Brooklyn Health, Pierre Toussaint Health Center Brooklyn, New York
Most patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are unaware they have it. Guidelines have established well-known risk factors for CKD to help identify and screen patients, but many patients remain unscreened and untreated, leading to kidney disease progression, cardiovascular disease, morbidity, and mortality. As the most accessible healthcare professionals, pharmacists are uniquely positioned to identify and screen patients at risk for CKD. Pharmacists can apply guideline recommendations to provide holistic care and improve outcomes and reduce cardiovascular risks for patients with CKD. This educational activity will discuss the cardiovascular risks of CKD and approaches to identifying and screening patients at risk of CKD. This activity will also provide strategies to implement guideline-recommended care of CKD and provide real-world examples of best practices in multidisciplinary care and patient education to equip and inspire pharmacists to bridge gaps across the cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic spectrum.
This presentation is provided by ASHP. Supported by an independent medical educational grant from Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Emergency Preparedness for Ambulatory & Health‑System Pharmacists Ensuring Continuity of Care, Patient Safety, and Community Resilience
Presented by Amy Cervan and Amber Taylor
Pharmacists play a critical role in protecting community health during emergencies — far beyond the boundaries of their clinic or health system. While every organization maintains an emergency operations plan, plans alone cannot stabilize chronic disease, maintain medication access, or prevent avoidable deterioration when disasters or cyber events disrupt care. This session focuses on how pharmacists can anticipate disruptions, safeguard medication access, support vulnerable populations, and collaborate with public health and emergency response partners. Rather than emphasizing internal preparedness tasks, this training highlights the outward-facing role pharmacists play in strengthening community resilience.

Break – Refreshments, Section Networking, Fundraising

PrEPared in Primary Care: Putting PrEP into Practice
Presented by Jess Potter
This presentation will review the four currently available options for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), with particular focus on the long-acting injectable agents, cabotegravir and lenacapavir. It will outline how to identify patients who may benefit from PrEP and compare key features of available therapies. Practical counseling considerations, medication logistics/coverage, and monitoring requirements will be discussed. A patient case will illustrate real-world decision-making from initial evaluation through ongoing management.
2:30pm – 3:30pm (Track B)
Rewriting Disease: Gene Therapy and Gene Editing in Today’s Pharmacy
Presented by Sigrid Roberts and Nicola Carter
Gene editing, or the ability to manipulate the genome, is one of the fastest growing medical technologies. This session will provide an overview of the history of gene therapy and gene editing, the molecular mechanisms of gene editing, and discuss the advantages and challenges of implementing this type of therapy. Currently available FDA approved pharmaceutical treatments based on gene editing will be reviewed. The objective of this session is to give attendants an overview and basic understanding of gene editing, its current use and future perspectives.
3:35pm – 4:35pm (Track A)
GDMT Without Gaps: Building and Maintaining Optimal Therapy Across the Patient Journey
Presented by Alyssa Rabon
Building and optimizing heart failure management with guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) is essential for improving patient outcomes. This session provides practical, evidence-based strategies to optimize GDMT across the continuum of care -- including during ICU admission, preparing for hospital discharge, and in ambulatory clinic follow-up. Participants will learn how to identify clinical opportunities for initiation and titration of GDMT, identify and overcome transitions of care barriers, and create a regimen that supports medication adherence to optimize patient outcomes.
