Have you been asked to give a presentation to a church or school group? Wold you like to save some time? PPA has the following template PowerPoint presentations available for our members at no cost. You may use them as they are or modify and customize them for your own needs. We would appreciate some credit to the association for the origination and in recognition of the pharmacy profession. These presentations are designed with the general public in mind and are not for medical professionals. They are for the most part designed to be a fairly basic presentation which you can expound upon. Most are planned to be about 15 to 20 minutes in length. Some were designed by our student interns while on rotation. Some also have several nice handouts or learning tools which we designed to complement the presentation. PPA members may request to be sent a copy of any of these for your use.

Presentations that are currently available include: Asthma, Careers in Pharmacy, Diabetes, APhA's Medication Use, Katy's Kids, Medicine Safety.

Katy's Kids Program

Katy’s Kids program was developed by the Iowa Pharmacy Association to teach children about medicines and medicine safety. Presentations are given in classrooms by pharmacists and student pharmacists of the community to kindergarten through second grade students.

The PPA public relations committee has developed some helpful resources for students and pharmacists wishing to present the Katy's Kids program in their local community. These resources are listed below.

• Link to the Katy's Kids website
• Katy's Kids Toolkit
• Katy's Kids compared to the Generation Rx Program

More presentations are currently in development.
We also welcome contributions, so if you have prepared a presentation and are willing to share it, please let us know. Or if you would like to suggest a topic for development by a student intern, let us know.
