ABOUT ASCP
The American Society of Consultant
Pharmacists (ASCP) is the international
professional society representing more than
9,600 members that provide leadership,
education, advocacy, and resources to advance
the practice of senior care pharmacy.
Consultant pharmacists specializing in
senior care pharmacy practice are essential
participants in the health care system,
recognized and valued for the practice of
pharmaceutical care for the senior population
and people with chronic illness.
Through its members’ practice settings, ASCP’s
membership represents the interests of more
than three million of the nation’s elderly who
rely on ASCP members for specialized drug
distribution and information services.
Reach Our Attendees:
This annual event has provided a must
attend venue for consultant pharmacists,
pharmacists, nursing home administrators,
medical directors, nurses and pharmacy
owners and suppliers to re-connect and build
new relationships.
ASCP members are multiple service providers.
In addition to performing drug regimen
reviews for long-term care residents, ASCP
members identify the following services as the
top five most frequently offered: parenteral
therapy services, drug utilization review,
pharmacokinetic monitoring, drug formulary
consulting, and home care services.
