NCPA Updates--November 2008

NCPA Ownership Workshop

Brought to you with support from Pharmacists Mutual Insurance Company and continuing support from the NCPA Foundation, this 3-day course in pharmacy ownership and management is specifically designed for potential pharmacy owners and provides an intensive curriculum of finance, business analysis, marketing, and much more! In addition, several pharmacy owners will be on hand to provide their perspective on how they got started, the risks, and the rewards of pharmacy ownership. More than 50% of past workshop participants now own their own pharmacy. Meet and ask questions to past workshop participants who have successfully opened multiple stores and see how easy it is done.

Where: Holiday Inn Hotel Cleveland Airport, Cleveland, Ohio

When: November 7-9, 2008

The cost of the workshop is $595 for NCPA members and $770 for nonmembers (includes 1 year staff pharmacist membership).
