Travel through time with pharmacist John Oftebro (President of the Redmond Historical Society) as he describes the history of pharmacy—the art or practice of preparing and dispensing medicinal drugs—from prehistoric to modern times. Learn what Pacific Northwest Native American tribes used for remedies, and follow the course of pharmacy as a science through settlement, discoveries, practice changes, and the storefront pharmacies in Washington State. Find out what was really in that snake oil—and how our state led the way for pharmacists to vaccinate across the United States.
Learn how progressive Washington State has been a leader across the country in practice changes that have affected healthcare, and what lies ahead for pharmacies and pharmaceutical practices. In addition, learn how local pharmacies have driven the initiative to administer COVID-19 vaccinations statewide.
