ADURS2026 Symposium
The American Drug Utilization Review Society (ADURS) is seeking an opportunity to partner with P3, P4, and pharmacy graduate students and PGY1 pharmacy residents interested in a career in Medicaid, drug utilization review, or public health.
Members of ADURS are individuals active in drug utilization review (DUR) within the 50 States, District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico Medicaid programs. The mission of ADURS is to provide a forum of leadership and support for the membership to obtain information, develop skills, and receive training to efficiently and effectively perform their duties.
The annual symposium is the main educational event of ADURS. The 2026 symposium will be held February 26-28 in Fort Worth, TX. The poster session will be held on Friday, February 27th from 12:15 to 1:15 PM (subject to change).
