The Business of Pharmacy

When preparing for a marathon you only have a certain amount of time to train before the race.  Like marathon training, our Business of Pharmacy program is intense and essential. Unlike the marathon, our training is informal and fun – while still gaining useful skills. We cover all the essential aspects of ownership.  Just as a marathon runner has a completely different perspective than a casual jogger, you can transform your view of the business from a pharmacist to that of a successful owner.

IRx has been hosting two day sessions on the business of pharmacy around the country for over 6 years.  This program has been met with great enthusiasm and feedback from the participants.  We have met great friends through the sessions and many of them have asked IRx to assist them with Starting or Buying a pharmacy as well as to provide for their ongoing accounting and taxation needs.  While we enjoy the in person camps, we also realized this was not always the most effective or convenient way to deliver this service.  As a result, the IRx team decided to invest in developing an online digital version and we are now very happy to make it available to you!
