NCPA Updates--January 2009

NCPA Ownership Workshop

Brought to you with support from Pharmacists Mutual Insurance Company and continuing support from the NCPA Foundation, this 3-day course in pharmacy ownership and management is specifically designed for potential pharmacy owners and provides an intensive curriculum on finance, business analysis, marketing, and much more! In addition, several pharmacy owners will be on hand to provide their perspective on how they got started, the risk, and the rewards of pharmacy ownership.
