In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Thank you Dr. Ulbrich for an excellent presentation that clearly explains what MTM is and why it's important and cost effective. Our healthcare system cannot afford to keep wasting $300B every year on this complex patient-focused problem. Pharmacists are more than ready and able to help fix what is obviously broken. It's time our efforts are officially recognized, utilized and capitalized!
