                               RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing support for designation of the week of October 25, 2009, 
     through October 31, 2009, as American Pharmacy Educator Week.

Whereas the number of colleges and schools of pharmacy has risen from 92 in 2006 
        to 115 in June 2009, creating an increased demand for well-qualified 
        pharmacy faculty of diverse backgrounds and experiences;
Whereas the innovative discoveries and accomplishments of pharmaceutical 
        scientists and educators in the United States dramatically influence 
        science and the delivery of patient care;
Whereas pharmaceutical scientists and educators address unmet community needs by 
        providing essential health care services such as diabetes screenings, 
        vaccination clinics, and medication therapy management to underserved 
        members of both local and international communities;
Whereas colleges and schools of pharmacy stimulate economic activity in their 
        community, State, and region by attracting grants and research funds, 
        generating tuition revenues, and creating jobs; and
Whereas the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy and the Nation's 111 
        colleges and schools of pharmacy have declared October 25, 2009, through 
        October 31, 2009, as American Pharmacy Educator Week: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the 
designation of American Pharmacy Educator Week.
