APhA Academy of Pharmacy Practice and Management (APhA-APPM)
The APhA Academy of Pharmacy Practice and Management (APhA-APPM) is
dedicated to assisting members in enhancing the profession of pharmacy,
improving medication use, and advancing patient care.
APhA serves pharmacists in all practice settings, including
independent and chain community pharmacies, hospitals, long-term care
facilities, clinics, health maintenance organizations, federal
facilities, nuclear pharmacies, and other specialized settings. Members
may choose to belong to sections within the APhA Academy of Pharmacy
Practice and Management (APhA-APPM) based on their area of interest
and/or primary practice setting. Members receive access to continuing
education, an online community of practitioners, networking and
leadership opportunities, tools and resources for developing patient
care services, cutting edge information on Medication Therapy
Management, and regulatory issues facing the profession. Each year the
Academy develops goals that focus on key priorities for the profession,
the Association, and the Academy. The 2010-2011
APhA-APPM Goals reflect the Academy’s focus on the
implementation of MTM services, adoption of the new governance
structure, and addressing emerging practice issues.
