We are pleased to be joined today by Marty Allain, JD and Jennifer Baumgartner, PharmD, BCPP with REAL Solutions Group to share a bit about their careers and their upcoming talk at the National Conference entitled "Pharmacist Prescriptive Authority: Give Me That Pen!"
The slow, methodical grind of expanding pharmacist prescribing authority sounds eerily like a train gaining scant momentum on a rusty iron track. But progress is upon us as COVID has proven pharmacy to be an effective and easily accessible wellness destination while select states continue to expand prescribing authority. The fight is ongoing throughout State Houses around the country. Medical associations battle, scheme, and harass non-physician professions into submission legislative session after session, but history will prove that doctors were on the wrong side of progress. The presentation will provide a brief overview of the history of pharmacist scope of practice along with insights on pharmacist prescribing regulation and engagement around the continuum of pharmacist prescriptive authority. Pull out our Rx pads and pens, pharmacists, it’s time to write!
