For the second time, GMU College of Pharmacy contributes to the execution and delivery of one of the IVPN Webinars (IVPN-AR), namely on “Pain Management: A Patient-Centered Approach” that took place on February 5, 2022. During this event, Professor Sherief Khalifa, Dean of GMU College of Pharmacy and Vice Chancellor for Quality & Global Engagement, moderated this webinar and commented on its importance for all healthcare professionals and how seeing a physician and pharmacist presenting shapes a better picture for the patient who should be always the leader of their own care plan.
