Volunteer Opportunities: Professional Advisory Council

Purpose

To advise the College of Pharmacy on emerging trends in pharmacy practice and to assist the College by providing leadership and developing resources to promote and implement progressive pharmacy practice.

Membership

The council consists of 15 to 25 members, most being directly involved in the practice of pharmacy.

Membership is at the invitation of the dean.

Membership broadly represents all areas of pharmacy practice including community chain, independents, hospital, long-term care, nuclear pharmacy, pharmaceutical industry, and education.

Company representation is generally limited to one member per company, unless significantly different practice roles are represented, in which case two individuals may serve.

The normal term of office is 3 years with reappointment possible.

Meetings

The council usually meets once a year in the fall.

Financial Considerations

The College of Pharmacy does not reimburse members for incurred expenses of travel, lodging, or meals. Lunch will be provided the day of the meeting.

Council members are asked to contribute in an exemplary manner to the College of Pharmacy annual fund.
