MCP Recap — Learn About Our Amazing AMCP Affiliates
Dear MCPs,
We are a month away from Nexus 2024 and I am excited and hopeful to see many of you there! One of my favorite things about our meetings is watching attendees network with one another and seeing our many affiliate organizations hold important meetings that will influence manage care pharmacy professionals across the country.
I constantly get asked about our affiliates and their work. The AMCP Affiliate Program provides a mechanism for AMCP members to engage at the local, state, and regional levels. We are fortunate that members in all 50 states are represented in an affiliate organization. From Alabama to Wyoming, we have our managed care pharmacists (MCPs) covered.
Affiliates not only help our members grow professionally, but they also give MCPs a place to call home in our community. They help members create connections with one another, serve as an AMCP in your home state or region, and create further opportunities for career strengthening through networking events.
Back at HQ, we pour our heart and soul into ensuring our members are cared for. We support our members in key operational areas, from accounting to registration, to ensure the success of those in the community.
Looking to get involved in within our community? Become a member today, learn more how you can get engaged and join an event to take your career to the next level!
We hope you are able to join AMCP and join other MCPs in your community who strive to make the world a better place by optimizing medicine and improving lives.
