Tom and Jillanne discuss recent conversations ASHP has had with the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services regarding the role of pharmacists in primary care. We touch on the types of services pharmacists are providing and highlight the pressing need for reimbursement and residency training support to sustain those models, and discuss the importance of partner organizations to our overall advocacy strategy.
