is abbreviated as AMCP. This is the country’s leading organization that strives to ensure patient
are accessed to quality and affordable medicine, improving the health outcomes and finally it is
tasked with ensuring that the healthcare dollars are used wisely.

The vision of this organization is to generally improve the level of healthcare for all the
United States of America citizens. The mission of the organization on the other hand is to
empower its members so that they can have the ability to serve the society through utilizing
sound medication management principles as well strategies that can improve health care for all
the citizens.
Population that the organization is dedicated to serve
The AMCP boasts of over 8000 pharmacists, nurses and other medical practitioners. The
organization always strives to manage therapies for the 270 million Americans through evidence
as well as value based strategies and practices.

AMCP. Regulating agencies play very critical roles in the healthcare industry. One of the roles is
