Delegates Approve Eight Resolutions at NABP's 102nd Annual Meeting

Delegates from the member boards of pharmacy adopted eight resolutions during the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® 102nd Annual Meeting, held April 8-11, 2006, in San Francisco, CA. The resolutions addressed such timely issues as establishing standardized experiential and practical requirements for student pharmacists; safe and proper disposal of unwanted medications; exploring recognition of Canadian Council for Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs; development of a response plan for disasters that affect the United States drug distribution system; continuing NABP's service as a resource to state boards of pharmacy regarding strengthening wholesale distributor requirements; submitting a request for Drug Enforcement Administration to reexamine its interpretation of the agency relationship between long-term care facility nurses and prescribers; and two recognition resolutions.

The complete text of the resolutions will be available on NABP's Web site, www.nabp.net, at the end of April 2006, and will also be published in the forthcoming special Annual Meeting issue of the NABP Newsletter.
