NCPA announces keynote speakers

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – The National Community Pharmacists Association has announced the keynote speakers for its 2022 Annual Convention, set for Oct. 1-4 in Kansas City, Mo. The theme for this year’s convention is “Team Up! Where Teamwork Makes It All Work.” Mike Abrashoff, former commander of the USS Benfold and author of three books, is scheduled to speak during the First General Session on Sunday, Oct. 2. Abrashoff was the most-junior officer in the Pacific Fleet when he took command of the near-worst performing ship. Twelve months later, the USS Benfold was the best ship in the entire Navy – using the same crew. Will Flanary, MD, is scheduled to speak during the Second General Session on Monday, Oct. 3. Flanary is an ophthalmologist and comedian who moonlights in his free time as “Dr. Glaucomflecken” on social media to an audience of over 2.5 million. Effortlessly blending observational medical humor with biting satire, he has spent years entertaining health care professionals on a variety of topics including the horrors of health insurance. One of his latest bits skewers massive pharmacy benefit managers, the health care middlemen often condemned by independent pharmacists and many others.
