Function Over Formulary: Rethinking the Role of the Pharmacist

Course overview

0202-0000-26-062-L01-P Explore the principles of functional medicine, a patient-centered approach that seeks to identify and address the root causes of disease rather than simply managing symptoms. As healthcare shifts toward prevention and personalization, pharmacists are uniquely positioned to help bridge the gap between traditional medication therapy and lifestyle-based interventions. Join this session to examine where functional medicine intersects with pharmacy practice, what the evidence says, and how to engage in interdisciplinary care that emphasizes nutrition, genomics, gut health, and environmental factors.
