Opening Session
The official IgNS 2019 conference began with a welcome address by Luba Sobolevsky, PharmD, IgNS' founding Executive Director, who framed the current state of our industry and identified the major focus areas this year™s conference. Next, Stacey Ness, PharmD “ who just began her second term as IgNS President, reviewed the major accomplishments of our organization, and provided a sneak peek into what™s to come in 2020.
IgNS 2019 Keynote
Our keynote speaker Erika McMullen presented a moving, thought-provoking, and highly-entertaining talk Diversity Reimagined: Bias is Not a Four Letter Word. This talk led us to some much needed soul-searching and understanding of our own biases. We came away armed with actionable steps to deepen our compassion, decrease judgement, and improve our interactions, both professionally and personally.

IgCN® and IgCP®
More than 60 nurses took the Ig Certified nurse exam at the conclusion of IgNS 2019. There was plenty of anxious excitement, and many attendees could be seen participating in impromptu study sessions before taking the exam. More exciting news: IgNS announced that the Ig Certified Pharmacist exam will debut in April 2020! Both the IgCN® and the IgCP® examinations will be offered live in various locations next year.
