Committees for Health Care Industry Professionals

Medical Advisory Board - The Board recently voted on establishing a Medical Advisory Committee.  The committee is to be comprised of health industry professionals that will recommend and approves patient and physician education materials for web content and printed publications.

We would like each member to contribute (annually) a minimum of one brief, article,  letter, press release, or other communication about diabetes care and in support of why our work is so important to patients with diabetes.

Pharmacy Advisory Board - iPump is in process of appointing members to a pharmacy advisory board.  Members will provide input and advice on pharmacy laws at federal and state level to ensure that iPump's practices and policies operate within the law.  

Members must be pharmacists or other legal or health professionals with an intimate working knowledge of the laws that regulate the distribution of prescription medications, prescription supplies, and medical devices including insulin pumps and their associated supplies.

Currently,iPump abides by federal and state laws and wishes to remain in compliance with pharmacy laws at all times.  We believe the best way to stop on top of any changes in laws, or create more efficient and safe patient protocol regarding prescription items, is to rely on the support and advice of a pharmacy advisory board.
