Join the Drug Topics editorial advisory council! We are revamping our editorial board to include “man/woman on the street” pharmacists—people like you, who work in the trenches. Won’t you join us? If you come on board, we would list your name on our masthead, invite you to advise us on story ideas, ask you provide blogs or (short) commentaries in the magazine, and participate in a virtual roundtable of topics, which we’d publish in the magazine. This would not take up a great deal of your time, yet it would provide a great service to your colleagues and the profession. If you’d like to do this, send your full contact information, and a CV or resume, to Margaret Mulligan, editor-in-chief at mmulligan@advanstar.com. I look forward to hearing from you, and thank you for your interest in Drug Topics—the voice of the pharmacist.
