<p class="MsoNormal">I hope your breaks are all going well and that you are ready to go back to class soon. I’d like to borrow a few minutes of your time because PPA has many deadlines, dates, and forms that are fast approaching. PPA Mid-Year conference is
from January 26-28<sup>th</sup> this year and registration is open until January 22<sup>nd</sup>. Hotel discounted rates are only available until January 5<sup>th</sup> (very soon) so if you’re planning on going please look into signing up/booking shortly.
Additionally, the OTC competition locally for Pitt is on January 11<sup>th</sup> in the evening and the google form signups are still accepting teams if you’d like to try and compete at midyear! (It is important to note that you still need to fill out the
travel reimbursement form by January 10<sup>th</sup> to be considered for reimbursement). Also, the Know Pain, Know Gain Patient Pain Counseling Competition will be at mid-year as well and anyone interested should email Rachel Stall (<a href="mailto:rstall@papharmacists.com">rstall@papharmacists.com</a>)
by January 24<sup>th</sup>. For more information on any of these topics please see the PPA info page:
