Project Summary
Appalachian College of Pharmacy is awarded $221,700 to establish new collaborative practice models between pharmacists and primary care providers in existing primary care practices to expand primary care services, medication and disease management in federally qualified health centers in Southwest Virginia.
The purpose is to augment the health care workforce to allow primary care providers to care for more patients. Pharmacy residents and students will practice and train in this model thereby producing a pipeline of trained clinicians for sustainability of the practice model. Primary care services provided by pharmacists will be billable through the primary care practice and result in financial sustainability of the practice model over time.
