The document summarizes the 2013 Interchange conference hosted by the Partnership for Safe Medicines (PSM). It lists the executive director of PSM and its many member organizations. It then describes PSM's efforts over the past year to educate over 300,000 patients, nurses, doctors and pharmacists, and nearly 1,000 at-risk clinics about counterfeit drugs through Facebook ads, printed materials, and trainings. PSM has also been working with international partners in countries like India, China, and Brazil. The conference agenda includes a new panel format and presentations on new research studies.
