Let's Start Cooking: An ICHP Cookbook

Let's Start Cooking: An ICHP Cookbook

In his installation address, ICHP President, Andrew Merker, reflected on the difference between baking and cooking. Baking teaches us the recipe: the precision, knowledge, and processes that are foundational to our profession. Cooking, on the other hand, is about creativity, adaptability, and knowing how to use the ingredients we’ve gathered through our education, training, experiences, and relationships. As pharmacy professionals, we do both every day. And now, we'd like to bring that theme to life in a fun and meaningful way.
