Program Overview
Prescription drug abuse is one of the most serious and critical public health concerns in the country. Numerous initiatives have been implemented by federal and state legislators in an attempt to curtail this crisis. Many of these have focused on educating physicians about sound narcotic prescribing practices; however, few have explored the potential benefit of using the pharmacist to help combat this growing problem. Since pharmacists are frontline health care providers and the provider that actually fills the prescription, it is imperative that they receive the education and training to proactively work with patients and prescribers to identify, manage, and prevent prescription drug abuse. This knowledge based program will focus on the enormous consequences that prescription drug abuse has had in the United States in recent years, and the pivotal role that pharmacists can play in addressing this growing problem.
