About Us
MEETING AN EDUCATIONAL NEED
The pharmacies allow student pharmacists to develop and refine their advanced practice skills. As full-service pharmacies, they include point-of-care screening services coupled with associated disease state counseling.
Under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist, students have opportunities to expand their patient counseling skills in areas that could include:
- Medicare Part D Plan Finder
- Blood Pressure Screening
- Disease Management and Prevention
- Medication Therapy Management
- Self Care
- Immunization/Vaccines
- Wellness Counseling
In addition to the clinical skills needed to be successful pharmacists, students have opportunities to learn the essential business skills required to successfully manage a pharmacy. The ACPHS pharmacies provide hands-on experience in revenue analysis, inventory turnover analysis, break-even analysis, and pharmacy cash-flow analysis.
Through their experiences in the pharmacies, students are better prepared to “think like entrepreneurs,” proactively seeking out opportunities not only for operational efficiencies and growth but for creative health care business models.
