Managed care is ubiquitous, no matter which career path you choose.  

“Student pharmacists truly represent the future of pharmacy and more
importantly managed care pharmacy. There is no employment setting in
pharmacy today that does not utilize one or more managed care pharmacy
techniques. AMCP and its membership feel a profound responsibility
to make sure that student pharmacists have opportunities to learn how
to use these tools effectively. Only through the proper deployment of
managed care pharmacy tools will patient care truly be enhanced.”
—Cathy Carroll, AMCP President 2008–09
