OPTA October 2025 Meeting

Date: November 12, 2025 | 3:00 PM

Real-world impact starts with shared ideas — and this month’s OPTA Webinar is all about the practical ways pharmacy teams can strengthen patient care and professional growth.

We’ll explore how pharmacy technicians are driving change, from medication access and safety to advancing their own careers.

On the agenda:

SafeNetRx Drug Donation: Donate Meds. Save Lives
Gina Buzzell, CPhT, and Kenzie Harder, PharmD, will share how SafeNetRx — a charitable pharmacy serving Iowa and Nebraska — collects and redistributes unused medications to patients in need. They’ll talk through how the program works, what it takes to get involved, and the real-world impact they’re seeing in their communities.

Fall Summit Poster Highlight: Effective Use of Chemotherapy Spill Kits
Kristen Durand, CPhT-Adv, CSPT, and Sotharo Bun, CPhT-Adv, CSPT, from Massachusetts General Hospital, will walk through the key takeaways from their Fall Summit poster presentation on chemotherapy spill kit use. Expect practical training tips and simple ways to strengthen safety and preparedness in your own practice.
