However, AMCP believes that the market will define what advanced training will be required and that the mandatory requirement of residencies and fellowships is unnecessary. AMCP believes that clinical expectations of certain organizations (hospitals, managed care organizations) and disciplines will drive the need for advanced training in those areas. The need for a competitive advantage may push pharmacists and organizations that employ or contract with pharmacists to require residencies or advanced training. AMCP does not support professional policies requiring residency training for entry into pharmacy practice. |
