About

The role of pharmacists in delivering contraceptive care is exploding!

Most pharmacists who will be providing contraceptive services are not experts in the field of family planning nor are they expected to be. As pharmacists specializing in family planning, we are here to support our colleagues in providing competent and evidence-based contraceptive care.

Birth Control Pharmacist provides education and training, implementation assistance, resources, and clinical updates to pharmacists prescribing contraception and key stakeholders, as well as leading and stimulating advocacy, research, and policy efforts to expand the role and realize the potential of pharmacists in reproductive health and justice. We also maintain the Birth Control Pharmacies site and directory for people across the country to find a participating pharmacy where they can access contraception directly from a pharmacist.

We hope pharmacists and pharmacy students will find the Birth Control Pharmacist’s content useful. We look forward to your comments, suggestions, and questions!
