DSN: Healthcare Equity and Access Demands Pharmacists as Providers

Watch our free on-demand webinar to hear from our panel of experts as they tackle one of healthcare’s most crucial topics—pharmacists as providers. During the pandemic, pharmacy practice policies were suspended and pharmacists rose to the challenge to administer COVID-19 testing and treating under their newly expanded roles. Now that the public health emergency (PHE) is over, should the pharmacist’s role as a provider of clinical services be expanded and made permanent? The answer to this question will significantly impact the future of healthcare.
