American Society of Health-System Pharmacists
We believe that the mission of pharmacists is to help people make the best use of medicines.
ASHP is a 35,000-member national professional association that represents pharmacists who practice in hospitals, health maintenance organizations, long-term care facilities, home care, and other components of health care systems.

Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education
Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) is the national agency for the accreditation of professional degree programs in pharmacy and providers of continuing pharmacy education. ACPE was established in 1932 for the accreditation of pre-service education, and in 1975 its scope of activity was broadened to include accreditation of providers of continuing pharmacy education.
ACPE is an autonomous and independent agency whose Board of Directors is derived through the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP), the American Pharmacists Association (APhA), the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) (three appointments each), and the American Council on Education (ACE) (one appointment).
Our mission is to assure and advance excellence in education for the profession of pharmacy

- Managing its resources responsibly

National Association of Boards of Pharmacy
Given that medications are an integral part of disease management, medication therapies and their delivery systems are becoming more complex, technological enhancements have improved the capabilities for patient monitoring, and entities motivated by economic gain are eroding standards of care, there is greater potential for harm to the public and a greater need for patients medication use to be managed by a licensed pharmacist and state regulatory agencies to aggressively enforce standards of care.
The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) is the independent, international, and impartial association that assists its member boards and jurisdictions in developing, implementing, and enforcing uniform standards for the purpose of protecting the public health.
The State Newsletter Program is part of the NABP Foundation, which was created by NABP to support the Associations educational programs and research and development projects. Published on a quarterly basis, the state newsletters provide pharmacists in 34 states with vital information about their state's pharmacy laws and board of pharmacy regulations.
