Started
in 1982 as Pharmacists Aiding Pharmacists (PAP) and became PRN/Minnesota in
1995, this organization
has no Board of Directors. It is freestanding and
separate from all Minnesota State pharmacy professional
organizations. It
uses substance misuse professionals who are credentialed to supply specific
services.
This organization became an advocate, resource, and support
group program in July 1995. In 1995 a
monitoring program (HPSP) for all
health professions licensing boards came into existence through enabling
legislation.
The official monitoring of self-referred pharmacists and Board referred
pharmacists paid by the
Boards made our monitoring redundant.
PRN/Minnesota supplies weekly (Wednesday) mutual support meetings
and advocacy
services by a contract relationship with each pharmacist.
What about funding?
The organization charges client fees: $10/month It does not receive
funding through license
renewal fees.
Active clients include:
Pharmacists & Student Pharmacist
