  • Comment: I see, but it would benefit from any additional significant sourcing for the best enhancement. SwisterTwister talk 22:58, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

@Dodger67: Thank you for the commentary! Let me know if the new sources are adequate. Biochemistry&Love (talk) 17:35, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

@SwisterTwister: I agree! I've just placed the Encyclopedia of Clinical Pharmacy on hold from my local library, which I'll be able to pick up at the end of the week. I think they might have some more interesting stuff in there as well, though the first page was mostly on the executive board structure and roles and responsibilities (which I could just pull from the org's bylaws). 13/25 of my references are now non-CPNP affiliated. I've added some more notable sources since your last comment, and I'm interested in your feedback! This is the first, full-length article I've ever worked on creating, and it's very exciting!

The College of Psychiatric and Neurologic Pharmacists (CPNP) is a professional organization representing pharmacists and other healthcare professionals in the specialty areas of psychiatric and neurologic pharmacy practice within the United States. It is the only such organization representing the interests of neuropsychiatric pharmacists in the United States. In an effort to help connect patients with psychiatric pharmacists, CPNP maintains "The Mental Health Pharmacy Directory," an online search engine that includes more than 850 mental health pharmacies.[2][3] As of December 2015, CPNP is a member of the Coalition on Psychiatric Emergencies (COPE) and is the only professional pharmacy organization represented on the coalition.[4][5] In January of 2017, CPNP was elected to membership status on the Joint Commission of Pharmacy Practitioners (JCPP).[6][7]

History

Much of what has been written about the history of CPNP comes from an article in the Encyclopedia of Clinical Pharmacy written by CPNP's second president (1999-2000), Alex A. Cardoni, MSPharm, BCPP.[8] Although pharmacists had been practicing in psychiatric and neurological practice settings prior to the formation of CPNP, there was no formal professional organization focused on neuropsychiatric pharmacy prior to the formation of CPNP.[8] In October of 1994, a group of pharmacists held a meeting in Austin, Texas to discuss and plan the formation of a national professional organization dedicated to neuropsychiatric pharmacy.[8] The resultant Conference of Psychiatric and Neurologic Pharmacists was composed of forty neuropsychiatric pharmacists, a special interest group of pharmacists that met at the American Society of Health System Pharmacists (ASHP) Annual Meetings and held a post-continuing education programming conference.[9][10] Later, in the summer of 1997, a founding set of bylaws and an organizational constitution were drafted. After a call for founding members in 1997, their numbers increased to 116, whom are considered the original, founding members of CPNP.[8] After approving the constitution and bylaws, CPNP was officially founded on March 24, 1998 [9].

The first CPNP Board of Directors was elected and sworn in at CPNP's First Annual Meeting of the College of Psychiatric and Neurologic Pharmacists in Orlando, Florida from April 23 to 26, 1998.[8] The elected officers were comprised of CPNP President Dr. Gary M. Levin, PharmD, BCPP, FCCP, President-elect Alex Cardoni, MSPharm, BCPP, Treasurer Dr. James E. Wilson, PharmD, Secretary Dr. Cherry W. Jackson, PharmD, BCPP, FASHP, FCCP, and Directors-at-Large Dr. Lawrence J. Cohen, PharmD, BCPP, FASHP, FCCP, FCP, and Dr. Sally K. Guthrie, PharmD.[8] The new organization was led by its first president, Dr. Gary M. Levin, PharmD, BCPP, FCCP, from 1998-1999.[9][11]

Today, CPNP is led by Dr. Christopher Thomas, PharmD, BCPP, BCPS.

Membership

As of 2016, CPNP had 2057 members, 70% of whom are Board Certified Psychiatric Pharmacists (BCPPs).[1] CPNP members primarily practice in the areas clinical practice, education and training, drug policy, and research.[1] Half of the membership practices in a hospital setting (a little over half of those members practice in government supported hospitals, such as with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs), with the other half practicing in a diverse number of settings, including private mental health practice (5%), pharmaceutical industry (7%), public mental health (8%), academia (12%), and others (18%, including long-term care, managed care, and primary care).[1] CPNP members encompass a range of professional experience, and 71% are residency or fellowship trained.[1]

Membership categories

History

Originally, the CPNP general body consisted of three major categories of membership: Active Members, Founding Members, and Corporate Members. Active Members represented the bulk of the organization, whom were pharmacists that paid yearly membership dues. Founding Members represented the original, founding members of CPNP (116 members in total). Corporate Members represented both corporations and members of corporations.[8]

Present

As of April 2017, categories of membership in the CPNP general body have been expanded as follows:[13]

  • Trial Members
  • Active Members
  • Associate Members
  • Student Members
  • Resident and Fellow Members
  • Affiliate Members (previously "Corporate Members")

The major difference between membership categories is the membership dues requirement. Trial Members are offered a free, trial membership for 6 months before being required to become Active, Associate, or Student Members. The most expensive membership category is the Affiliate Member category, which was $460 for one membership year (membership through June 30, 2018) as of April 2017. CPNP offers a student discount through the Student Member category, which is $165 cheaper than the Active Member dues. Membership dues are also stratified based on the length of membership purchased, also known as a non-cumulative quantity discount; for example, for the Active Membership category, buying two years of membership saves $30, whereas buying three years of membership saves $65.[13]

Committees

The CPNP Board of Directors may appoint committees to fulfill a defined purpose for the organization, in line with its missions and vision.[14] The committees also serve as a platform for CPNP members to engage with one another on topics of interest to them. As of April 2017, CPNP has appointed 15 committees:

  • Abstracts and Awards Council
  • Business Development Council
  • Community Leaders Council
  • Consumer Relations Committee
  • Government Affairs Council
  • Medication Fact Sheet Editorial Board
  • Mental Health Clinician Editorial Board
  • Nominations Council
  • Program Committee
  • Psychopharmacology Pearls Editorial Board
  • Recertification Editorial Board
  • Resident and New Practitioner Committee
  • Review Course Editorial Board
  • Student Committee
  • Theory to Practice Case Editorial Board

Student chapters

Pharmacy students may start or join student chapters of CPNP at colleges and universities that have pharmacy schools with full-time pharmacy degree programs.[15] Student chapters provide extracurricular activities for members.[16] The structure of CPNP student chapters is similar to the structure of CPNP National's Board of Directors, with some notable differences: the governance of CPNP student chapters is called the "executive board," rather than the "board of directors;" CPNP student chapters lack a "Director-at-Large" office; CPNP student chapters are guided by "Chapter Advisors," whom are faculty members at CPNP student chapter institutions; and CPNP student chapters may incorporate other officer positions (e.g. some chapters have elected a P1 or First Year Liaison, an officer that serves to represent the interests of the student chapter to the "P1," or first year pharmacy student, class at the member institution).[17][18][19][20]

As of April 2017, there are 33 student chapters located at pharmacy schools within the United States.[21] The first CPNP Student Chapter in the United States was at Nova Southeastern University.[22] According to the CPNP website, student chapters are located at the following colleges and universities:[21]

Student chapters are often involved with local mental health organizations, such as the National Alliance on Mental Illness. For example, in March of 2016, the University of Arizona's CPNP Student Chapter launched its "Stigma Free Campaign" in support of NAMI.[42] The chapter has also participated in the local NAMI Walk in 2016, and has appointed a liaison to NAMI.[43] The Ohio Northern University's CPNP Student Chapter claims to host NAMI representatives at their meetings as well.[44]

Communities

CPNP communities are distinct groups of CPNP members that exist to connect members with one another.[45] Communities maintain a private email forum, shared community resources, can schedule conference calls, and meet at the CPNP Annual Meeting. As of April 2017, there are 11 CPNP communities gathered around a variety of subjects:

  • General
  • Geriatric Psychopharmacotherapy
  • Managed Care Pharmacy Practice
  • Patient Care Practice Management (PCPM)
  • Patient Medication Education Groups (PMEG)
  • Psychiatry Residents
  • Research
  • Residency Program Directors (RPD)
  • Students
  • Substance Use Disorders Strategies (SUDS)
  • Teaching

Research

CPNP members are engaged in research topics of interest to the practice of neuropsychiatric pharmacy. For example, in 2016, the Yale School of Medicine reported that Douglas Boggs, PharmD was awarded the Best Original Research Award by CPNP for his work on the motor effects of THC.[46] Pharmacy Times reported CPNP's 2015 recipient of the Best Original Research Award, Kyle Burghardt, PharmD, for his article titled, "The Pharmacoepigenetics of Metabolic Syndrome in Schizophrenia."[47] The CPNP Foundation funds the "Defining The Future" Grant Program, which aims to fund research that will help shape and define the future of neuropsychiatric pharmacy practice.[48]

CPNP has been recognized for the development and development of neuropsychiatric resources. In 2015, the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry awarded CPNP with a $5000 grant for the development of community pharmacy guidelines for the management of opioid use disorder, titled, "Opioid Use Disorders: Interventions for Community Pharmacists."[49][50] The resource is now provided for free on the "SAMHSA-HRSA Center for Integrated Health Solutions" website, a collaboration of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the US Department of Health and Human Services's Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).[51] In 2014, the America Academy of Addiction Psychiatry awarded CPNP a $5000 grant for the development of a training webinar titled, "Putting Naloxone Into Action," aimed at helping pharmacists learn how to develop overdose education and naloxone distribution programs.[49]

Annual Meeting

CPNP meets annually to discuss topics in neuropsychiatric pharmacy, offer credit for BCPP recertification, and network with colleagues. Dr. Steven C. Stoner, PharmD, BCPP, past president of CPNP (2010-2011), has described the CPNP annual meeting as the organization's "crowning achievement."[9] The first annual meeting was held in Orlando, Florida in 1998.[9] The 2017 annual meeting "CPNP 2017" was held in Phoenix, Arizona.[52]

Lobbying and advocacy

In collaboration with the American Pharmacists Association (APhA), CPNP has lobbied for pharmacist "provider status," a profession-wide political effort aimed at convincing the United States Congress to recognize the profession of pharmacy (pharmacists) as providers in the Social Security Act, Part E, §1861.[53][54]

The primary advocacy arm of CPNP is its Government Affairs Council (GAC).[55] There are currently eight members of the 2016-2017 GAC. Members are required to declare any disclosures of interest.

Community service

CPNP members assist with NAMI’s HelpLine and Medications Mental Health Medications website, as well as staff the “Ask the Pharmacist” booth at NAMI’s annual convention.[56] In 2006, the National Alliance on Mental Illness honored CPNP with its Excellence in Community Mental Health Services Award in recognition of "their outstanding efforts to educate people about the available medications for the treatment of mental illness."[56]
