We are in an era of unparalleled opportunity. Right now, tech-based start-ups, chain and independent community pharmacies, large and small health-systems, pharmacy benefits managers, national managed care organizations, and multi-national pharmaceutical companies are all working to be able to collect, organize, and translate data into actionable insights for the purpose of improving the health and wellness of large groups of patients. How can you participate in this shifting care model? The Jefferson College of Pharmacy invites you to learn the skills necessary to use the population health pharmacy principles.
