HuH? 2020 shortage? 😕
According to AACP,
"A shortfall of as many as 157,000 pharmacists is predicted by 2020 according to the findings of a conference sponsored by the Pharmacy Manpower Project, Inc. Complete findings are detailed in the final report, "Professionally Determined Need for Pharmacy Services in 2020.""
So I searched for the year that report was published. GuEsS what year? ....dRuM rOLL...
2002. Yup. GASP 😱 With the current job outlook right now, I don't know what will happen. And it's only a 9 year old publication. What will happen in 2020?
Will there be a shortage in 2020?
