This event will combine pharmacy research with COVID-19, discussion on the opioid epidemic in the Rio Grande Valley, and liver disease in the Hispanic population.

- Recognize the importance of utilizing research for hepatology patients, liver surgery patients, and COVID-19, particularly in the Hispanic population.
