The Association has been through an enormous amount of change over the years. However, one thing that has not changed is our desire to provide our members with valuable services and programs. We will continue to provide the same quality of benefits, while also looking to add new services to our members. Here are a few highlights.

Political Action

The Association proposes new and revised pharmacy legislation and advances it through the legislative process.

This includes developing position papers, testifying before various committees, and maintaining liaisons with the leadership and members of the Rhode Island General Assembly. The Association also monitors all political activity that involves or affects the pharmacy profession in any way.

The Association provides low-cost Continuing Education programs throughout the year. The Education Committee strives to provide members with exciting, cutting edge programs taught by experts in the field.

In collaboration with the Rhode Island Pharmacy Foundation, RIPA members are able to earn ACPE credits toward annual licensure.

Professional Networking

Our strength as an Association stems from forming relationships with pharmacists from all practice settings.

Each event and program sponsored by RIPA provides participants with opportunities to network with colleagues, classmates, and friends.
