PPA Presidential Address

A message from PPA President 2025–2026

Hello PPA Members!

Happy early spring…or, if you’re from the North like I am, what we affectionately call second winter. We have almost 300 registrations already for the 2026 PPA Annual meeting!

Lizbeth Hansen

Highlights of the upcoming meeting include:

  • Our first-ever Clinical Skills Competition for students, showcasing emerging talent and hands-on excellence
  • A reception on the rooftop deck of APhA’s national headquarters on the National Mall to celebrate BPS’s 50th Anniversary, offering a unique opportunity to connect with colleagues in an iconic setting
  • An exclusive hospital tour of Children’s National Medical Center, providing insight into advanced clinical practice and patient care
  • Up to 30 hours of continuing education, including 15 hours of BPS credit, designed to support your professional development
  • More than 180 resident presentations, reflecting the depth, diversity, and strength of our upcoming colleagues

The Annual Meeting is more than a conference, it is a chance to learn from one another, celebrate achievements, and strengthen the future of our profession and our specialty. Whether you are attending to earn CE credit, present your work, mentor the next generation, or reconnect with colleagues, there is something meaningful for everyone.

Register today and remember to order your PPA swag ahead of the meeting so you can roll up in style!

New PPA Job Board

We are also excited to introduce our new Job Board, a centralized resource designed to connect employers with highly qualified candidates across our community. With the upcoming transition of residency graduates into the workforce, this is a particularly important moment for recruitment and the PPA Job Board offers a timely and effective way to reach emerging talent.

Also included as a new feature is the ability for applicants to upload their resumes to be viewed by hiring managers when they are actively searching for positions.

To celebrate the launch, members will have the opportunity to win a free job listing by clicking here.

We encourage everyone to take advantage of this new platform as we work together to strengthen our workforce.

Thank you for all you do for PPA!
