Drug Therapy Day

This year's Drug Therapy Day sponsored by the Division of Clinical Pharmacology at the University of Western Ontario, will be held on Wednesday June 7, 2017 at the Lamplighter Inn London. This conference has been held annually for the past 38 years. Many physicians and pharmacists from Southwestern Ontario have attended this conference on a regular basis and the feedback is that the conference provides important and timely information regarding optimal drug therapy. As in previous years, our goal is to cover emerging areas of interest to the practicing physicians and pharmacists, by bringing in expert physicians and pharmacists as speakers.
