Pharmacists CARE Initiative Launch
The Pharmacists CARE Initiative had a successful launch at Western Pharmacy Exchange in April 2024. We had an amazing turnout of over 130 pharmacists who received training on medication abortion and pharmacy certification.
“It opens a lot of doors for our pharmacy to gain REMS certification for dispensing mifepristone”
“The knowledge will help me help and understand patients and provide them with access to services”
If you missed the presentation, our home-study program is coming soon!
