To this end, AIP partners with about 40 vendors and 5 wholesalers who provide goods and services to independent pharmacies. We have approximately 400 pharmacies that are members of AIP. In addition, AIP employs 2 Member Service Representatives (MSRs) who provide regular consultation to independent pharmacies. (2) The Academy for Clinical and Health System Pharmacists (ACHP) supports members (162) who are employed by large health systems or provide consulting services.

(4) The Academcy of Pharmacy Technicians (APT) is the convening academy for technicians (230). APT coordinates an annual TechU providing continuing education to ensure technicians have state of the art information and training.
