Reprofessionalization in pharmacy
Developments in technology, social organization, the division of labor and financing have substantially threatened the traditional role of the pharmacist. This paper examines responses to these structural transformations through efforts to reprofessionalize the field, including creating professional organizations, setting high standards of training and performance, and the acquisition of clinical responsibility. Several predictions are made, based on theories of organizations, professions, and social movements in order to determine the future composition and direction of pharmacy.
