title: The pharmacist as a primary care provider for the medically underserved.
abstract: Opportunities abound for pharmacists to expand their practices by providing clinical services or assuring access to affordable pharmaceuticals to the medically underserved. The PSSC is a recently established resource at APhA that provides the pharmacy community and HRSA grantees with information and technical assistance on HRSA programs and projects. By participating in HRSA demonstration projections, pharmacists can implement much greatly needed patient care services to reduce disparities in health care. Becoming a 340B-contracted pharmacy can help pharmacists build prescription volume, expand their clinical services, and better serve the health care needs of their communities.
