Delegates from the member boards of pharmacy adopted seven resolutions during the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy^® (NABP^®) 103^rd Annual Meeting, held May 19-22, 2007, in Portland, OR. The resolutions addressed such timely issues as disciplined pharmacists’ participation in federal health care programs; the requirement that a valid prescription be based upon a valid, ongoing patient-prescriber relationship; Internet pharmacy public safety awareness; prescription drug diversion from common carriers during interstate and intrastate distribution; and exploring the feasibility of expanding the NABP Clearinghouse to assist boards of pharmacy in determining eligibility for pharmacy licensure. In addition, one recognition resolution was passed.

The complete text of the resolutions will be available on the NABP Web site, www.nabp.net, at the end of May 2007, and will also be published in the forthcoming special Annual Meeting issue of the NABP Newsletter.
