CEO of APhA makes more than 700,000 a year

AND

The leaders are envisioning, and will be profiting from, a future for pharmacy where "Uber meets Match.com", a gig economy with no insurance etc

take a read.....

This is America... This is just how it works when your CEO..

700k seems about normal for the CEO of a large organization. The AMA CEO's base salary was more than 900k recently.

Aspen RxHealth is not a product of the APhA but partially of it's president (who is not employed by the APhA and thus needs a job). It actually sounds kind of interesting as a side gig.

A) The AMA actually works for doctors and actually protects the profession....CEO can get 5 million a year as far as I care IF he/she would actually protect the profession.

B) CEO of APhA seems to have no problem promoting his venture via APhA and when speaking on behalf of the APhA. CEO day job is at Cardinal Health (no conflict here, of course). And gig-economy pharmacists??? Really

Are you a troll?

As a non-APhA member, I could care less what the CEO makes. I am not paying for it. However, he is being paid similarly to his peers who run other organizations. I don't think it is necessarily the CEO's job to "protect the profession" so much as it is his job to run the organization. The direction usually comes from somewhere else. The problem with APhA's direction lies much more with the Board of Trustees and the House of Delegates than it does with the CEO.

As for B - the CEO of APhA is Thomas Menighan. The person speaking in the interview is Brad Tice, the APhA president (an elected, volunteer who is reimbursed for sure but not paid). Honestly, the PA interview was the first time I had heard of Aspen RxHealth, but I will admit it does sound interesting. I don't know what his payment model is for the service but that will matter a lot for whether it is good for individuals or not.
