Webinars

ISMP webinars are a convenient way for healthcare professionals to stay ahead of new trends in medication safety and gain additional knowledge in key areas.

Practitioners can stretch their professional development dollars further by gaining access to top-flight educational seminars without having to pay for travel and lodging or spend extra time away from work. In addition, each organization pays one fee for registration that covers unlimited participation from individuals at their site.

ISMP’s webinars focus on practical issues that healthcare professionals find themselves addressing every day in practice, such as the JC’s National Patient Safety Goals, bar coding, and IV drug compounding. They feature multidisciplinary panels of nationally known experts in medication safety from all over the US. See the links below for more information on past webinar topics.
