Institutional Membership

 SPPCP Institutional Memberships are here! Institutions with 5 to 30 pharmacy team members who wish to join SPPCP can use the small (up to 5 pharmacy team members) or medium (up to 30 pharmacy team members) institutional membership type. Pharmacy team members are those who are eligible for SPPCP membership as a full pharmacist member, Pain Management and Palliative Care PGY2 Residency Program Director, Pharmacist-New Practitioner, Resident/fellow pharmacist, student pharmacist, or pharmacy technician membership type. Institutional members have the rights, privileges, and benefits of membership associated with the corresponding membership type they would have as an individual.

Each institution/organization wishing to join under an institutional membership will need to identify at least one key contact. This contact will be responsible for invoices associated with membership. If this contact is already an active member of SPPCP who is not in their membership renewal window (within 45 days of membership expiration), please contact [email protected] so your institution can be manually enrolled. If your key contact is not currently a member of SPPCP, or is a member but is within their membership renewal window (within 45 days of membership expiration), then you can join here. 
Each institution/organization wishing to join under an institutional membership will need to identify at least one key contact. This contact will be responsible for invoices associated with membership. 
*Please Note: key contacts count towards your number of linked profiles (max of 5 for small institutions, max of 30 for medium institutions).
Not necessarily. When registering your institution/organization, the first page of the registration form collects information about the organization for display in the directory (such as name, address, etc). Here is where you can include the name and email address you would like displayed in the directory in the organization's profile. While this may be the information of the key contact, it does not need to be.
*Please note: the email address associated with the organization is where invoices will be sent, so ensure it is an email address you are able to access the inbox for. If you have further questions or concerns about which email address to list, please contact [email protected].
After completing the organization's profile, you will then be prompted to provide your personal information. By default, the person registering is designated as the key contact for the organization, however this may be updated at any time on your profile or by contacting [email protected].
If your linked members are not current members of SPPCP, you can create their accounts at the time of joining. 
If your linked members are already members of SPPCP, they will need to be manually linked to your organization. Please contact [email protected] for assistance.
*Please note: members that are manually linked to an organization will have their expiration date updated to match the organization. No credit can be provided for unused individual membership time. 
Key contacts can assign other key contacts from the linked members in your organization. These new key contacts can then pay/receive invoices. If the previous key contact is no longer with your organization or otherwise unable to update the key contact(s), please contact [email protected] for assistance.
The members linked to your organization can be updated at any time by contacting [email protected]. 
*Please note: the members who are unlinked from your organization will lose access to member benefits immediately, but can join as an individual member at any time by completing our membership form. 
Yes, each member linked to your organization has their own SPPCP account, and can opt in and out of the directory. The organization itself also may opt in or out of the directory. These selections are made at the time of registration, and can be updated at any time in your member profile. 
If you linked members at the time of registration (i.e. created new accounts for your staff associated with your organization), they will need to activate their accounts by setting a password. They will need to enter the email address entered for them at the time of registration. If they are unsure, please contact [email protected] for assistance with manually resetting their password. 
*Please note: only the email address assigned to the institution (likely matching that of the key contact) at the time of registration will receive a confirmation email regarding membership. However, all associated profiles should begin receiving SPPCP communications thereafter.
