The Gateway to the Future of Pharmacy

This presentation, developed for pharmacists in Illinois, includes an overview of the potential roles pharmacists may play in emergency/disaster response; key actions to take in developing a response plan; and how pharmacists can work with public health authorities on planning and response. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between pharmacists and public health agencies in Illinois is also discussed, and may be referenced by other jurisdictions for development of similar agreements.
