PROGRAM
8:30 am WELCOMING REMARKS
Dr. Michael Coughtrie, Dean, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, UBC
Mr. Tamiz Kanji, Director, Continuing Pharmacy Professional Development (CPPD), Faculty of
Pharmaceutical Sciences, UBC
8:45 am DRUG INTERACTIONS WITH ANTIRETROVIRAL MEDICATIONS
Ms. Katherine Lepik BSc(Pharm), MSc, RPh
Learning Objectives
1. Identify common drug interactions with antiretroviral medications.
2. Identify and access web-based antiretroviral drug interaction resources.
3. Be aware of scenarios where antiretroviral drug interactions might be missed.
Description
Antiretroviral medications effectively control HIV infection, preventing HIV-related morbidity and transmission of
the virus to others. Although HIV medications were originally excluded from the BC PharmaNet profile, this
changed in May 2020 when the Ministry of Health mandated inclusion of antiretrovirals on PharmaNet to
protect patient safety. All pharmacists now have the opportunity to check for antiretroviral drug interactions, but
might be unfamiliar with these medications. This presentation provides practical information for pharmacists
regarding antiretroviral drug interactions.
9:45 am BREAK
9:55 am USING BLOOD GLUCOSE TECHNOLOGIES TO OPTIMIZE DIABETES MANAGEMENT
Ms. Andrea Silver HBSc(Neurosci), BSc(Pharm), RPh, CDE
Learning Objectives
1. Describe the technical difference between traditional, flash, and continuous glucose monitoring technologies.
2. Review the clinical impact of various glucose monitoring technologies in the management of diabetes.
3. Interpret blood glucose reports and recommend ways to use reports to motivate change for patients
with diabetes.
Description
With one in three Canadians living with diabetes or prediabetes today, proactive engagement and monitoring
by pharmacists can have a significant impact on clinical outcomes and systemic cost of disease management.
The evolution of blood glucose technologies over the last 50 years has affected pharmacists’ ability to
impact patients’ understanding of diabetes itself and inspire self-care behaviors. This session will review
how to access and interpret results from these technologies in professional practice, and use case-based
examples of how to communicate results effectively to motivate change.
10:55 am BREAK
11:00 am PLEASE CHOOSE ONE OF THE THREE FOLLOWING OPTIONS DURING THIS BLOCK:
1. Attend a Live Q & A panel with Speakers from Topic 1 and Topic 2
2. Take an extended lunch break
3. Use this time to complete your Asynchronous Session that will be available for you to view at your
leisure anytime until May 17th 2021. This session must be completed to attain a Conference Statement of
Completion. A link for this pre-recorded session will be provided closer to the conference date.

CONFERENCE
ASYNCHRONOUS SESSION: COMMUNICATION WITH PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS
Mr. Robert Pammett BSc(Hons), BSP, MSc, BCGP
Learning Objectives
1. Describe the principles of communication between pharmacists and primary care providers.
2. Recognize the enablers and barriers of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) and ePrescribing in facilitating
communication.
3. Develop influential communications to primary care providers.
Description
This presentation will review information to educate pharmacists on improving their communication with primary
care providers. Specific guidance will be given to attendees to allow them to build effective and influential notes
for primary care colleagues.
11:45 am LUNCH BREAK (LUNCH NOT PROVIDED)
12:30 pm PHARMACIST INJECTION SERVICES: CHALLENGES & NEW OPPORTUNITIES
Mr. Adrian Ziemczonek BSc(Pharm), RPh
Learning Objectives
1. Describe strategies and tools to increase vaccine uptake in your practice.
2. Understand the concept of vaccine hesitancy and explore ways of approaching vaccine hesitant individuals.
3. Recognize upcoming opportunities for pharmacist led injections.
Description
Despite overwhelming scientific evidence of vaccine benefits, it is believed that 20-30% of Canadians are
vaccine hesitant. As accessible and trusted healthcare professionals, pharmacists are well positioned to
provide education and increase vaccine uptake to ensure that their patients are protected against
vaccine-preventable diseases. The objective of this session will be to review strategies to optimize vaccination
services and prepare for new pharmacist led injection opportunities.
1:30 pm BREAK
1:40 pm WE NEED TO TALK (ABOUT TRAMADOL)
Dr. Jessica Otte MD, CCFP
Learning Objectives
1. Understand the unique pharmacology of Tramadol, and how this translates into benefits and harms.
2. Compare the efficacy of Tramadol to other analgesics.
Description
Tramadol and Tramadol-Acetaminophen are frequently prescribed for the treatment of acute and chronic pain
in British Columbia. Although recommended as a ‘safer opioid’, the effects of Tramadol can be challenging to
predict because of its unique pharmacology. This session will present the best available evidence of side effects
and effectiveness of this drug.
