***************************************************************************************************************************************
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 weeklyl
(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 & Pharmacy students
