ABWM BOARD SPOTLIGHT: PUBLIC MEMBER
"As the Public Member of ABWM I view my responsibility as being a "quasi-watch dog." My role is to represent the perspective of potential patients who seek the services of a CWCA, CWS or CWSP."
ABWM Public Member, Peggy Piascik, PhD, R. PH, University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy.
By definition, the ABWM Public Member is the person who represents the direct and indirect users of certificants' services. The Public Member is not a certificant (CWCA, CWS or CWSP) but is a professional with similar credentials to the certificants. The Public Member should also have, at some time, been a consumer of the certificants' skills and services, or is someone who has a background in public advocacy.
