About The P&T Society
The Pharmacy & Therapeutics (P&T) Society is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit association dedicated to serving professionals concerned with the delivery of high-quality, outcomes-oriented pharmaceutical care in all healthcare environments. Founded in 1999, the organization has grown rapidly from multiple disciplines, including physicians, pharmacists, economists, and nurses.

We provide support for the P&T process, through which our members:

- Evaluate the impact of formulary decisions on patients, professionals and institutions/organizations
- Educate P&T process participants and their stakeholders
WHO WE ARE
Our active members have been a diverse group of health care professionals who participate in the P&T process at virtually every type of health care organization:
- Integrated health systems
- Hospitals
- Managed care organizations
- Pharmacy benefit managers
- Federal and state government agencies
- Long-term care facilities
- Corporations
Approximately 60% of our members historically have participated on P&T committees. The remaining 40% are interested professionals who may be involved in policy-making, academia, consulting, and economicsWHAT WE OFFER
Our members are grappling with an increasingly complex P&T decision-making process that encompasses a broad spectrum of issues to consider - from economic impact models to benefit structure and patient adherence to therapy. The Society is available to help with resources and education on hospital and managed care formulary development and management, pharmacoeconomic and outcomes research, and government and legislative issues. Through Society-sponsored networking events, members from different types of organizations have the opportunity to share experiences and learn about successful strategies implemented by their colleagues.
We seek to provide a forum for the various stakeholders involved in the P&T process to create a P&T community that will foster the delivery of high quality, affordable and accessible pharmaceutical care.
