Media Outreach

In order to spread the message of the benefits of pharmacist-provided services, it takes a coordinated outreach effort to legislators, key stakeholders, and the public. The best mechanism to facilitate this outreach is through the media. OPA's Public & Professional Relations Committee has developed a special toolkit for pharmacists and student pharmacists to utilize to share the value of pharmacy.
