Ohio Pharmacists Association Annual Conference Recap April 2022 plus interviews with Emlah Tubuo, PharmD and Greg Kramp, PharmD
Today\u2019s episode includes a recap of my weekend at the Ohio Pharmacist Association (OPA) Annual Conference April 1-3, 2022, and brief interviews with Ohio pharmacists Emlah Tubuo, PharmD and Greg Kramp, PharmD.

This episode has 4 parts. \xa0
In the first part, I\u2019ll give a recap from the sessions I attended:\xa0 session title and speaker(s) name(s), plus two take-aways.
I attended 11 sessions and earned 16 hours of CE.\xa0 Ten sessions were 90 minutes long.\xa0 One was only 60 minutes long.\xa0 There were multiple offerings for each time slot, and it was hard to pick just one to attend.
The second part is my interview with Emlah Tubuo, PharmD.
The third part is my interview with Greg Kramp, PharmD.
The fourth and final part of this episode will be a few stories about what went wrong back home while I was gone.\xa0 If you\u2019re a parent of teenagers, you\u2019re going to groan.\xa0 It has to do with my younger son missing the ACT on Saturday, April 2, and the death of the only houseplant I own. \xa0

Just a few things went wrong back home while I was away for 3 days. Gratitude first. The house did not burn down, and my husband and both kids were alive when I got home.\xa0 \xa0
What went wrong?
- My son Derrick missed the ACT because he forgot about it.
- My only houseplant died a horrible death by wind, rain, and cold temps.\xa0
- Our trash ended up in our recycling toter and the recyclables ended up in the trash toter.
- I left March 31, and no one flipped the calendars in the house to April.\xa0 No one printed the new lunch calendar for April either. \xa0
- When my family went to church, no one brought the Noisy Change Offering, which is only collected the first Sunday of the month.\xa0 My son had to loan my husband cash so we could contribute toward the charity of the month.\xa0
- My husband also forgot to pick his prescriptions up at the pharmacy on Saturday.\xa0 The pharmacy is closed Sunday.
Better luck next time, boys!\xa0 Please laugh.\xa0 I know I did.\xa0 That\u2019s life, and life can be messy! \xa0
