CVS Health and the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy in Baltimore launched a multiyear collaboration to strengthen pharmacy workforce development and advance innovation in community practice.
The partnership will support the school’s efforts to explore and implement an AI-driven pharmacy initiative aimed at improving operational efficiency, reducing healthcare costs and enhancing patient outcomes, according to a Jan. 20 university news release. CVS Health will help the school assess how AI can streamline pharmacy workflows and enable more effective clinical interventions.
The initiative also expands experiential learning through the school’s Experiential Learning Program, allowing students to train across CVS Health’s operations — including retail, managed care, corporate and call center environments.
Leaders from both organizations said the collaboration is designed to elevate the pharmacist’s role, inspire future talent and create new pathways for community pharmacy transformation.
