At the 2025 PCCA Technician Summit, two pharmacy technicians shared their journeys from opposite ends of the compounding spectrum. Tiffany Kofroth, CSPT, CPhT-Adv, works in sterile compounding and education at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Mindy Stephens, CPhT, has built her career in nonsterile compounding at Magnolia Pharmacy in North Houston. Their experiences may differ, but their passion for personalized care is the same.

I’m honored to be speaking at ThinkNext 2025, where I’ll deliver a lecture on the Neuroscience of Pain. This presentation will explore how modern pain science is revolutionizing our understanding of pain and unlocking powerful, non-pharmacologic strategies to improve patient care.
