It's OK...the residents you'll be talking to at the showcase don't plan on staying sober either.
Well...I guess I'll have to be sober sometimes, as I'm doing PPS, but other than that, no need for sobriety.
You're counting down...you must have plans..
I vaguely remember somewhere hearing about getting invited to drug dinners at mid year. Is this true?
Dayum....has it been 4 years...
There are some. But not as much now.
Spontaneously combust maybe
Damn it I'm gonna have to be sober the morning of the residency showcase aren't I. Or maybe not...talking to a hungover resident = the program must be good, right?
Vendors invite select customers for private dinners. Typically these are informal. And occurring much less now with the FDA restriction on marketing. There are drug company sponsored dinner and CE programs but I haven't seen much. Then there are presentations by different vendors here and there which aren't really food and alcohol events.
If you're looking for free dinner and booze party to crash, I will say those are rare and gone pretty much. Its who you know....and if those you know haven't invited you to those dinners then you need to get to know those who are connected.

I've been invited to and gone to my fair share considering I'm in retail at a chain that doesn't allow reps to visit. But I brought it up out of interest of going during the vegas trip

Not going this year...didn't go to ACCP either. I'm getting out of touch with the pharmacy world!
Neither am I. Didn't realize how expensive it is since my school was paying for my trips to ASHP, APhA the last couple of years.
Dollars to donuts you went to ID week or ICAAC though. I would choose either over ASHP but gotta go this year to meet residency directors.
Step away from the bottle
Local pharma dinners are a little different than a dinner event at a major convention. Hit up your school gathering.
Went to both, actually. Great conferences to be at.
I almost regret I won't be going this year. I should have gone and asked every student whose CV I have slaved over to buy me a drink.

Kids can't afford it..
They can pool their money. I can't drink equivalent of this many CVs anyway.
I will probably go next year, I can stop by for Midyear for live CEs and to meet with some people, and then go to the Universal Studios... the one Orlando area theme park I have not visited yet.

By far my favorite!
So I got home from my 5 week ICU out of town vacation to a mailbox full of dinner invites yesterday. I did RSVP for my school's dinner but I'm bailing to go to a dinner to hear Tom Lodise talk MRSA 😎
Turkey day Z(en) words?
