In support of COVID-related public health efforts, the 2021 OPEN Summit was virtually co-presented with the Center for Practice Excellence (CPE). Research presentations addressed new research findings or in-progress research focused on medication management and/or collaborative approaches to healthcare with an emphasis on the role of the pharmacist. This event brought together researchers, educators, policy makers, healthcare professionals, knowledge users and trainees to learn about current pharmacy research and to engage in discussions about improving medication management and primary healthcare across Canada.
