NACDS RxIMPACT Day on Capitol Hill Event

March 13-14, 2024

Join hundreds of like-minded advocates from across the nation traveling to Washington to:

  • Learn how to talk about pharmacy issues;

  • Attend NACDS-scheduled Congressional meetings; and

  • Impact how Congress views pharmacy and the positions for which we advocate.

Student Pharmacy Advocates

Selected students can train to become the next generation of pharmacy advocates. The March 13 NACDS RxIMPACT “U” Academy provides students a ½ day training before Hill meetings to learn about Congress, how to communicate to influence policy outcomes, and discuss key pharmacy issues. Students put it all into practice by joining all other pharmacy advocates in the full program.
