Abstract

Recent changes in the demographics of the pharmacy work force could profoundly affect the profession's ability to meet societal needs by worsening the imbalance between the supply of and demand for pharmacy practitioners and the pharmacist shortage. The impending loss of senior pharmacy managers due to retirement may exacerbate the problem. Gaining an understanding of the demographic changes helped the ASHP Task Force on Pharmacy's Changing Demographics identify ways to improve pharmacy staff recruitment and retention, provide for succession in leadership, and improve patient care.
