On May 30, 2017, pharmacists and pharmacy students from across the state gathered in Augusta to show support for LD 572, a bill designed to expand the role of pharmacists in Maine.
LD 572, which has now been passed by the Maine Senate, begins the process of updating the states' pharmacy laws by amending the definitions of 鈥減harmacist鈥 and 鈥減ractice of pharmacy.鈥 It specifies in statute that the 鈥淧ractice of Pharmacy鈥 is "the provision of health care services" and that 鈥淧harmacists鈥 are "providers of health care services".
鈥淟D 572 puts the profession of pharmacy and the services they provide along with other health care professionals,鈥 said Kenneth McCall, BSPharm, Pharm.D., CGP, associate professor for the Department of Pharmacy Practice. 鈥淭his is especially important in rural and underserved areas of the State.鈥
