Conclusion APhA Policy Committee Report

• Pharmacists are well positioned in communities across the country and well trained to provide clinical services to patients with emergent and chronic care needs. As FDA and others consider new and innovative ways to increase access to certain medications, it is important that patients have access to pharmacists to assist and counsel patients to ensure that medications are used safely and effectively.

• APhA supports the concept of dispensing medications with conditions of safe use and appreciates FDA mentioning the use of a pharmacist intervention in addition to innovative

technologies as conditions of safe use. A potential new drug paradigm would improve patient access and public health by better leveraging the skills and accessibility of pharmacists, much like the profession has done with the success of pharmacist-administered immunizations. The Association also views the concept being

considered by FDA as a great opportunity for pharmacists to further communicate and collaborate with physicians and other providers. Although logistical questions, challenges, and other uncertainties must be resolved, none are significant enough to prevent this important concept from becoming a reality.

PROPOSED RESOLUTION more detail

Proposed Resolution Title/Topic:

Equal Opportunity Recruitment

Proposed wording (desired action(s)):

APhA-ASP further supports policy 1981.1 and condemns unethical, inaccurate, and unprofessional advertising and other misleading methods of recruitment of students into pharmacy school.

APhA-ASP urges pharmacy schools to recruit students without unlawful regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, handicap, veteran status, or any other discriminatory form of recruitment.

APhA-ASP further supports policy 1974.25 and encourages colleges of pharmacy to identify deficiencies in minority enrollment and set goals with a timetable for correction of such deficiencies.

Background Statement (list reasons for the action(s) / pros and cons / references or resources):

Policies on the books currently are outdated and need to be combined and revised.

Specify forms of discriminatory recruitment and take a strong stance

Encourage continuous awareness of minority enrollment

References include Creighton University’s Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action Policy

If yes, please provide the number and title of the adopted resolution(s) as well as your rationale for the addition of this Proposed Resolution:

1974.25- Minority Recruitment and Retention 

APhA‐ASP urges each college of pharmacy to implement an active minority recruitment and retention program and provide each college with a model recruitment program.

1981.1-  Misleading Recruitment Activities 

APhA‐ASP condemns unethical, inaccurate, and unprofessional advertising and other misleading methods of recruitment of students into pharmacy schools; 

APhA‐ASP further condemns sexist, racist, and other discriminatory 

forms of recruitment. 

 

Policies on the books currently are outdated and need to be combined and revised. Sexism and racism were specific issues at the time of the possible be the policies should have a more detailed version of other forms of discrimination to emphasize pharmacy schools should be open to all people.

Retention program is an outdated term and should be clarified to identify deficiencies in minority enrollment. It is also important to be aware of enrollment and set goals to adjust dissatisfactory number.
