Address of the 2020-2021 President and Immediate Past President to the First House of Delegates at the 2020 Virtual Annual Meeting of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy

ABSTRACT

[...]as the pandemic disrupts many longstanding structures in health care, new opportunities are emerging to position pharmacists as critical contributors to health care and essential members of care teams. First are the student pharmacists who come to our schools because they want to help people live better and healthier lives. [...]are the patients that our students will take care of throughout their careers. The combination of passion and perseverance, grit, is what will lead us to the transformation of pharmacy practice and education that will result in providing better care to our patients.
