The 2026 NSU Fall Classic

Live via Zoom to your home

A live Zoom Conference to your home Saturday, November 7, 2026 and Sunday, November 8, 2026

NSU Fall Classic 2026 - Registration

About the Program

The two-day program has a mixture of traditional and non-traditional topics. Traditional programs offered educational opportunities for professionals to enhance both their practice skills and knowledge in the areas as women’s health, stroke education, HIV, Diabetes Care, GLP treatment, pediatric depression, and infection disease whereas, non-traditional educational opportunities provide pharmacist opportunities in cutting edge programs as integrative medicine, cancer tumor treatment, peptide medicine, psychotic therapies and the uses of IV Silver. 

Program Goal

The presentations for this conference will be presented live, through our NSU Zoom platform. The goal of this program is to provide attendees with the most current traditional and non-traditional healthcare knowledge and methods that address the most appropriate issues of the day.

The 33rd Annual NSU Fall Classic Conference 2026 was fashioned with a common theme, a theme of engagement and relevancy that would challenge the speakers to challenge the pharmacists, pharmacy consultants and pharmacy technicians to consider their unique information, new tools and new ideas offered at this conference to enhance participant skills and knowledge in growing their careers and jobs and meeting tomorrow’s patient care expectations.

Target Audience

This accredited activity was planned and designed for pharmacy practitioners (consultants and general continuing education) and pharmacy technicians.

Pharmacy professionals need to advance their knowledge and skills in traditional and non-traditional focus areas. As healthcare providers, they need to become better patient advocates for those who choose either pathway to improve their health.
