Who is eligible to enroll in the Impaired Pharmacy Professionals (IMP3) program?

The eligibility criteria for the Impaired Pharmacy Professionals (IMP3) program specifically includes pharmacists, pharmacy interns, and pharmacy technicians. This program is designed to support individuals in the pharmacy profession who may be experiencing impairments. By allowing pharmacists and other pharmacy-related professionals like interns and technicians to enroll, the program addresses the need for a comprehensive support system aimed at promoting recovery and ensuring safe practice among individuals who hold these roles.

Pharmacy students, while they are part of the broader pharmacy profession, are typically not included in this program since it is geared towards those who are already licensed or in a practical role within the pharmacy field. Similarly, any health care worker does not qualify, as the program specifically targets those within the pharmacy realm. This focused eligibility helps to ensure that individuals who are currently engaged in pharmacy practice receive the appropriate resources and support tailored to their unique responsibilities and challenges.
