Key topics: global medication safety and shortage management; pharmacist-led antimicrobial stewardship in low-resource settings; pharmacogenomics across diverse populations; biosimilar adoption strategies (see adalimumab biosimilar update); international pharmacy education standards; and digital health in global pharmacy practice.
How do I earn CPE credit at the ASHP Global Conference?
Sessions are eligible for ACPE CPE credit ↗ — up to 12–16 hours. Credits are reported to CPE Monitor via NABP ↗. International attendees should check with their national pharmacy regulatory body — for example, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society ↗ (UK) — for ACPE credit recognition and equivalency requirements.
Is virtual attendance available at ASHP Global 2027?
ASHP has provided hybrid formats since 2021. Virtual registrants access live-streamed keynotes, select sessions, and on-demand recordings for 60–90 days post-conference. CPE credit ↗ is available for virtual attendees. See the ASHP meetings page ↗ for registration details. Compare also: ASHP Summer Meetings 2027.
How does Nashville as a venue benefit attendees?
The Music City Center ↗ is a LEED-certified convention venue with direct walkway connections to major hotels. Nashville (BNA airport) has strong connections from most US cities. The area's growing healthcare sector — anchored by HCA Healthcare and Vanderbilt University Medical Center — makes it a natural fit for a health-system pharmacy meeting.
