Join us for a conversation with Lea Wolsoncroft, RPh, 2023-24 NCPA president and owner of Remedies Pharmacy. Lea tells the story of her journey into pharmacy, how her first NCPA Annual Convention shaped her path, and her passion for compounding and pediatric pharmacy. She also reflects on her year as NCPA president, reveals what she enjoyed the most, and discusses the evolving role of pharmacists in public health and preventative care. 

K.C. Ogbonna, PharmD, MSHA, dean of VCU School of Pharmacy, is thinking outside the box to prepare students to enter a rapidly evolving industry. He joined us live at #NCPA2024 to share how VCU is igniting an interest in pharmacy with opportunities that cover the entire workforce, beginning with a high school program that introduces students to the world of pharmacy to a pharmacy technician program at VCU. Plus, we discussed combatting the unfavorable narrative around community pharmacy and why Ogbonna felt it was important to bring his students to the Annual Convention.
