The holidays are just around the corner, but that’s not the only exciting thing about this time of year.

ASHP’s 2017 Midyear Clinical Meeting kicked off this weekend in Orlando, and Pharmacy Times is on site covering it. At this largest gathering of clinical pharmacists in the world, there will be plenty of opportunities to dive into a number of informative sessions covering everything from patient care to medication safety, and more.

Here are 4 sessions to watch for in our coverage at this year’s meeting:
