So why do AACP and colleges of pharmacy ignore and refuse to consider these issues? Are we too timid? Are the issues too sensitive? Might some in the academy be offended? Rather than speculate on the reasons for the current silence, I will make a recommendation. AACP, as well as other national pharmacy associations such as APhA, ASHP, NCPA, the American College of Clinical Pharmacy, the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists, and the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy should include presentations and discussions on these issues as a featured topic in their next annual meetings.
