For more than 15 years, the MidSouth Pharmacy Residents Conference has served as a premier forum for the dissemination of new knowledge, innovative approaches to training and practice, and the development of professional relationships within the field of pharmacy. The 2025 conference featured more than 50 programs representing six states and provided approximately 150 residents with the opportunity to present their research while fostering meaningful professional collaboration.

We are also pleased to announce our 2026 keynote speaker, Timothy P. Gauthier, PharmD, BCPS, BCIDP.  Dr. Gauthier will present on infectious diseases stewardship initiatives and discuss strategies for leveraging social media to advance the pharmacy profession. We encourage attendees to explore his professional content on social media in advance of the conference.
