In light of the recent events affecting the University of Mississippi and the broader pharmacy community, MPhA is making the following continuing education resource available prior to the publication of the Fall 2026 Quarterly Journal.

The recent loss of members of the Ole Miss community has been felt across Mississippi. As pharmacists and pharmacy professionals, we have an important role in recognizing the risks associated with substance use, educating our patients and communities, and being prepared to respond when an overdose occurs.

We encourage you to take this opportunity to review the article and complete the CE quiz. This timely resource provides an opportunity to strengthen your knowledge and reinforce the important role pharmacists play in overdose prevention, recognition, and response. Thank you for continuing to learn, serve, and support the communities we care for.
