Additionally, NKDSF Director and the agent designated as the pharmaceutical diversion investigator will host a training workshop for health care professionals. This workshop will be directed toward physicians, pharmacists, and other health care professionals who would benefit from increased knowledge in identifying signs of pharmaceutical diversion.
