Both the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) and the University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy offer ACPE (Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education) accredited courses. - Minnesota Pharmacists Association (MPhA)
Engage with pharmacy professionals, and those with professional and/or business interests in pharmacy. - Minnesota Society of Health-System Pharmacists (MSHP)
