|

|
The network serves as a:
|

One goal of SWPRN is to foster the growth or implementation of a program in every state and college of pharmacy.

Sharing the experiences of programs that have been operating for a while and capitalizing on their success, and avoiding the pitfalls can be of great benefit to those getting started.

Protecting public health and safety while reaching out to save a colleague’s career, and perhaps life, is the ultimate goal of SWPRN. Education and early intervention can help accomplish that goal.
