If you have a pharmacy resident or know someone who is interested in medication safety or becoming a medication safety officer, recommend that they become an ISMP Safe Medication Management Fellow or ISMP/FDA Safe Medication Management Fellow. In doing so, they will spend a year working at ISMP with some of the nation’s top leaders in error prevention and safe medication use methods, and receive the best training they will need for that medication safety role. Applications for the 2018-2019 fellowships are due March 31, 2018. For more information and to apply, go to: http://www.ismp.org/profdevelopment/default.aspx
