Contacting the College about a Concern
Before you Contact the College
If you have a concern about the care you received from a pharmacist or pharmacy technician, the best place to start is to speak directly with that person about your concern. Simple miscommunications are often at the root of many concerns, and although it may be difficult, a face-to-face discussion is often the best way to resolve an issue.
Learn how to prepare for a tough talk.
