“I am extremely pleased to welcome Drake as the inaugural Executive Fellow in Health Care Association Leadership,” said AMCP CEO Susan Cantrell. “He shows great passion for helping patients get the medications they need at a cost they can afford. AMCP looks forward to helping Drake reach his career goals of being a health care leader.”
AMCP created the Executive Fellowship in Health Care Association Leadership in January 2021 to help develop leaders in managed care pharmacy and association management by providing collaborative training and professional development. This year-long program covers a wide range of association leadership areas, including governance, strategy development and implementation, strategic communications, and operational leadership. Qualified candidates must have graduated or will graduate from an ACPE-accredited school of pharmacy prior to starting the fellowship.
