District 3 - Andrea Silver
As pharmacists, we self-govern to work for our patients. We stand to protect them from unsafe clinical and operational practice, and in return they give us their trust, respect, and business.
I would like to serve to give back to the public and ensure they continue to get the best of our services as our practice advances and continues adapt to the current healthcare market.
GOALS:
- Prioritize patient safety and reduction in medication errors by normalizing the incidence of error reporting, thereby reducing shame and allowing for preventative solutions and continuous improvement
- Adapt and update legislature so that scope of professional practice is inline with current and future healthcare market
- Maintain and improve Practice Review Program as a practical means of assessing professional competency
