FEATURED EDUCATIONAL QUESTION
How can communities make sense of medication information?
Consider the source, the date, the jurisdiction, and what the evidence can and cannot establish. Bring curiosity, respect, and professional care.
What does advocacy mean here?
Here, advocacy means evidence-based education, scientific exchange, professional integrity, and community service consistent with NAPPSA’s charitable mission. NAPPSA’s referenced bylaws prohibit lobbying and attempts to influence legislation, as well as candidate campaign intervention.
Educational themes and member discussions are not official positions. Recommendations from the Ethics and Public Policy Committee require Board approval before becoming effective.
Bring your expertise into the community
Public education is available to everyone. Membership offers access to existing member services and opportunities to contribute; it does not guarantee a leadership appointment.
