Welcome to the website for the North Dakota Pharmacists Association (NDPhA). The association is committed to advancing the practice of pharmacy within the state of North Dakota and beyond.

Objectives

As the professional society representing all pharmacists in the state the objectives of the NDPhA are to act as the leader:

• in advocating the role of the pharmacist as an essential provider of healthcare
• to support pharmacists in providing optimal pharmaceutical care;
• to encourage and assist pharmacists to use profitable methods to add value to their pharmacy knowledge base;
• and by working to improve pharmacists' services and delivery of products needed by health care consumers.

The Dakota Pharmaceutical Association was organized August 3, 1885, in Fargo by pharmacists concerned about the quality of pharmacy practice in the northern part of the Dakota Territory. There were no licensure requirements for pharmacists and pharmacies and the goal of the group was to organize to advance the profession by promoting standards for pharmacists to meet. Following statehood the organization was recognized as the North Dakota Pharmaceutical Association. The articles of incorporation were renewed in 1935. In April 2004, at the annual convention, the members voted to change the association’s name to the North Dakota Pharmacists Association.
