"Since 2018, we have required all Walmart and Sam’s Club pharmacists to complete the APhA Pain Management Forum program as part of our broader opioid stewardship efforts.  The feedback we’ve received has been overwhelmingly positive. We want to do what we can to make sure all members of our profession -- whether they work at Walmart or not -- are equipped to help keep patients that require pain management safe from the dangers of prescription opioid misuse and abuse."
