For 20 Years, NEIAP Serves as Community for Ambulatory Care Pharmacists

Jennifer Goldman, PharmD, CDCES, BC‑ADM, FCCP, professor of pharmacy practice at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and clinical pharmacist at Well Life, describes NEIAP's educational programming as designed for immediate, practical application—giving pharmacists tools they can bring straight back to their practices and teaching. She notes that many NEIAP members work in collaborative practices across various health systems, managing complex patients with conditions like obesity, lipid disorders, and diabetes, and that staying current on technology and treatment approaches directly impacts patient outcomes. Just as important as the education, she says, is the relationship-building NEIAP fosters, especially for pharmacists who may be the only 1 or 2 ambulatory care specialists within their health system and would otherwise lack a professional network to consult.
