Coastal Bend Society of Health-System Pharmacists

The Coastal Bend Society of Health-System Pharmacists (CBSHP) is dedicated to the advancement of pharmacy in the Coastal Bend region. CBSHP serves health-system pharmacists in Corpus Christi, Texas, and its outlying areas. We have a robust partnership with the Texas A&M Health Science Center’s Coastal Bend Health Education Center, offering education to healthcare professionals, our pharmacist members, and our student members. We also support the local student ASHP chapter at the Texas A&M Rangel College of Pharmacy in Kingsville, Texas.





CBSHP co-hosts the Annual Gulf Coast Pharmacy Symposium in Corpus Christi, Texas. The Symposium is designed to address educational needs for pharmacists and other healthcare providers based on the unique patient care needs of the Gulf Coast area, and offers continuing education to pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, physicians, nurses, and other practitioners. Since 2012, the Symposium has hosted such distinguished guests as Dr. Henri Manasse, former ASHP CEO, and Alice Mendoza, Texas State Board of Pharmacy.
