What they do is formulary management. Hope that means something to you.
AMCP looks at medication management from the cost effective perspective- so yes, formulary management is a valuable tool that utilizes this principle. The organization takes a very "macro" look at patient care- advocating for MTM reimbursement, healthcare reform, etc.
Pharmacists in AMCP range from those working in MCOs & PBMs to MSLs working for Pharma. So yes, managed care is "business" oriented, but very clinical and as well.

I read in a pamphlet from AMCP that they also take part in outcomes research. I thought that that had to do with clinical trials for drugs.
What are the thoughts on paying for a professional organization membership? Why not simply join the pharmacy school chapter and be active in that?
That refers to following up to see if the treatment therapy/protocol had the intended/beneficial effect and how compliant the patient is being with the treatment therapy/protocol. The idea is to have "standardized" treatment protocols with proven efficacy.
