HIV Prevention Track

Power of PreventionThis session explores innovative approaches to pharmacy workforce development that are reshaping how we train, mentor, and deploy future pharmacy professionals. As healthcare shifts toward community-based, prevention-focused models, there is an urgent need to prepare students, residents, and early-career pharmacists to lead in areas like HIV prevention, chronic disease management, and health equity. Drawing on the success of the Legacy Pharmacy Internship Program and AmeriCorps Pharmacy Advocate initiative, we highlight scalable strategies for embedding learners in high-impact roles that serve marginalized populations.
