Does the College have authority over pharmacy corporations?

Most corporate-owned pharmacies have majority pharmacist ownership.  While the College does not have authority over corporations, pharmacists–even those who act in their capacity as corporate directors rather than providers of patient care–are accountable to us.

We continue to explore what more we can do to assure ourselves and the public that no matter what ownership models are in place, pharmacy professionals have the autonomy to use their own knowledge, skills and judgment in the delivery of patient care.
