The Southwest Iowa Pharmacists Association is proud to have coordinated over 100

programs during the past 20 years. Almost all of the programs were accredited for
continuing education by the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education (ACPE) in
cooperation with the Iowa Pharmacy Association.

Three of the programs attracted audiences of over 300 pharmacists, technicians, and
student pharmacists.

Our largest event attracted 445 audience members, including one US Congressman.
The program was held in August of 2005 at Harrah’s in Council Bluffs. It was titled
“The New Medicare Benefit” and presented by the National Community
Pharmacists Association (NCPA) and was cosponsored by our Association. SIPA
also assisted in the coordination of this program. This forum, one of many
presented by NCPA throughout the country, was the best attended of all of NCPA’s
Medicare forums. Its audience size surpassed all other program sites, including
New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

All programs designated with an asterisk were ACPE accredited.
