A student chapter of the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy
The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) is a professional organization comprised of pharmacists and associates who serve patients by promoting good health with the use of rational drug therapy. The primary principle of the "managed care" mentality is to provide both realistic and quality healthcare to all patients. Focusing on both clinical and economical aspects highly increases compliance and thus improves the wellness of our patients.
Here at the University of the Pacific, we are a student chapter aiming to increase student awareness of the various career opportunities within managed care. Graduates of pharmacy programs have acquired a variety of managed care careers including, but not limited to:
AMCP offers students the opportunity to explore the field of managed care. Through our events on campus and through conferences, there are many opportunities for students to network with pharmacists in the field and learn more about managed care. We also hold an annual P&T competition where students can experience exactly what managed care pharmacists have to analyze, apply and present. Our goal as an organization is to promote the many different aspects of the pharmacy field. Understanding all aspects ranging from clinical data to formularies and economics will help you become a true community leader in our profession.
We welcome you to our organization, and look forward to working with you throughout our years in pharmacy school.
