Why you need to join APC

Do you have an interest in pharmacy compounding? Whether you’re a pharmacist, technician, prescriber, vendor, educator — or even a patient! — APC is the organization for you.

(That’s right: APC counts physicians, PAs, and NPs among our members — if that’s you, become a prescriber member!)

Membership options

APC Pharmacy/Facility Membership

When your pharmacy or facility joins APC, not only does every employee get the full list of member benefits — continuing education opportunities, access to APC’s information services, professional development events, discounts on services, and more, but your company receives a list of value-added services and discounts.

Click here for Pharmacy/Facility Membership details, a dues calculator, and more info.

And becoming a pharmacy/facility member means you amplify your influence in APC, and help amplify APC’s influence with Congress, regulatory agencies, and state legislatures.

There’s more…

• Dues for multi-store/multi-location owners is based on total employees, not per-store or per-location.
• Membership auto-renews annually — and of course we notify you.
• For companies of 13 or more pharmacists + technicians, your annual dues may be paid in quarterly installments.

Individual membership

We also offer five categories of membership for people whose employers are not yet ready to become Pharmacy/Facility Members: pharmacist, technician, prescriber, student, and supporter. (Click here for information about each.)

Whether as part of a pharmacy/facility or as an individual, all APC members receive a list of educational, informational, and of course advocacy benefits.
