WEBINAR: Intro to Anatomy and Physiology and Drug Disposition for Nonhumans

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

Overview: On March 15, 2021, APhA HOD approved ACVP’s proposal to expand the definition of a “patient” to include both human and non-human species. While this expansion highlights the wide scope of care provided by pharmacists, a paucity in veterinary pharmacotherapy education remains. In two independent surveys, 77% of pharmacists reported that they routinely filled prescriptions for animals. In a 2021, only 26.7% of colleges and schools of pharmacy surveyed responded that veterinary pharmacotherapy training was provided in their curricula, implying that almost three-quarters of pharmacy graduates are not trained to care for non-human patients in pharmacy school. Surveys of veterinarians indicate that they have a low confidence in pharmacists’ ability to fill their prescriptions correctly. Both NABP and the American Veterinary Medical Association have expressed resolutions emphasizing the need for pharmacist education in veterinary pharmacotherapy.

Overall Activity Goal - The goal of this activity is to provide comparative species information for veterinary pharmacy professionals.
