Pharmacy Law Consultant

Be the expert in risk management and regulatory compliance.

Numerous credentials exist for pharmacy specializations, though the majority are clinically focused.

However, a significant portion of pharmacy relies on legal and ethical practice, alongside daily clinical decisions.

Additionally, our training and education provide minimal guidance on preparing for practice, self-advocacy, and managing the moral and ethical challenges of the profession.

That’s why CEimpact partnered with renowned pharmacist attorney, David Brushwood, to create the Pharmacy Law Consultant program.

This course explores cases where pharmaceutical products were used by criminals to kill people, identifies people at risk of intentional harm by pharmaceuticals, and outlines best practices pharmacists should put in place to protect people from harm.​
