AAPP Letter to VA Secretary Collins Emphasizes Importance of MH Clinical Pharmacists

In a letter to Collins, AAPP emphasizes the impact of MH Clinical Pharmacist Practitioners in the VA system and in training residents for our already insufficient mental health workforce. AAPP expresses concern about the dismissal of VA employees and the impact on veterans access to benefits and care. Additionally, the letter emphasizes the extent of care that is delivered virtually and the harms of return-to-work mandates for pharmacists employed in virtual positions.
