Positioning Psychiatric Pharmacists to Improve Mental Health Care
This paper casts a vision of how psychiatric pharmacists can have an even greater impact on the care of patients living with psychiatric disorders, including mental health and substance use disorders. It continues AAPP’s endorsement of the BCPP credential, of the CMM process, and of the versatility of psychiatric pharmacists. It also introduces the important concept of psychotropic stewardship. Ultimately, this vision paper will guide education, workforce, and advocacy efforts in the coming years.
Best Practice Model for Outpatient Psychiatric Pharmacy Practice
After 2+ years of planning and research, the Professional Affairs Committee has
published a list of 28 attribute statements describing a best practice model. The extensive model description includes pharmacist attributes, facility attributes, and more. As work on the model turns to implementation and assessment, these attribute statements provide insights that can be applied to your practice today.
CPNP 2022 Annual Meeting Poster Abstracts and Recognition
The scientific poster sessions are an important opportunity for psychiatric pharmacists to present research to their peers. Abstracts for the 200+ posters are
