The College recently produced a video called “Trust in the Care Your Pharmacist Provides” to provide the public with the assurance that pharmacy professionals are qualified and authorized to safely and effectively deliver an array of important services.  

Some of the services referred to in the video include what pharmacists are now able to provide with expanded scope, such as administering the flu shot, adapting a prescription, and prescribing smoking cessation medication.
