Advancing pharmacy practice through evidence-based research
We conduct meaningful research. From demonstrating the impact of pharmacists on patient and population health outcomes to promoting the expanded scope of pharmacists in community-based settings, our team conducts research that informs real-world pharmacy practice advancement in partnership with multiple state-level stakeholders across different settings.
Turning ideas into shared learning
Our educational resources connect research, policy and practice. CPPI offers seminars, podcast conversations and practical tools that help pharmacists, students, faculty and health care leaders explore emerging issues, share ideas and apply innovative strategies to improve patient care.
Championing the evolving role of pharmacists
We raise our voices for pharmacy. CPPI collaborates with professional organizations and community partners to promote the vital role that pharmacists play in patient-centered care. Our research provides a foundation for advocacy efforts that aim to influence policy-making towards accessible care for all Virginians.
