AIHP COVID-19 Historical Documentation Project

Submitted By:

The American Institute of the History of Pharmacy (AIHP) has launched the AIHP COVID-19 Pandemic Pharmacy Historical Documentation Project to record, document, and preserve COVID-19-related stories and firsthand experiences of pharmacists. A special portal has been established on the AIHP website through which pharmacists and others can contribute materials for its archives. The project hopes that pharmacists will address such questions as:

• How did the public health emergency affect your work?
• How did medication therapy options change and evolve over the course the crisis?
• How did social distancing and self-quarantine affect pharmacy practice, pharmacy education, or patients and other stakeholders?
• What were your most difficult challenges?

This is a unique opportunity to record and document for posterity the significant role that pharmacists, and the pharmacy profession, are playing during this historic public health crisis. ACCP members are encouraged to participate and share this information with colleagues who may also wish to contribute to the project.  Visit https://aihp.org/collections/aihp-covid19-project/ for more information.
