The American Pharmacists Association (APhA) defines a community-based pharmacist as a pharmacist who routinely provides patient care services that meet their patients’ needs within any community-based setting. Community-based pharmacy settings are those that take place outside of the inpatient health-system setting (e.g., chain and independent pharmacy, hospital outpatient clinics and pharmacies, physician offices, nursing homes, federally qualified health centers, etc.).
Are you a pharmacist that supports the advocacy of community-based pharmacy? The Academy of Community-Based Pharmacists began in August 2018. The Academy allows community-based pharmacists to collaborate and represent community-based pharmacy as one united voice. Membership in the Academy is open to any Society member who considers him/herself a community-based pharmacist.
The Benefits of the Academy of Community-Based Pharmacists include:
- Networking and collaboration with other community-based pharmacists across the state.
- Opportunities for community-based pharmacists to be involved in legislative policy, CE events/education, networking, and future CPS endeavors.
- Representation and promotion of the community-based pharmacy profession, including special interest practices or local practice settings.
- Electing one member of the academy to serve on the board of directors.
- This representative will be the leadership voice for community-based pharmacy and advocate for community-based pharmacists within CPS.
- Leadership positions within the academy.
