Areas for Expansion

Things that might be good to expand upon:

History of psychiatric pharmacy (in-progress)
Notable psychiatric pharmacists, historically and in the modern era
Effect of psychiatric pharmacists on patient outcomes
Salary, occupational outlook
Expanding the article to include perspectives from other countries (non-USA)
A nice photo of a psychiatric pharmacist
Add citations to the scope of practice section.

Thoughts on changing the title from "psychiatric pharmacy" to "neuropsychiatric pharmacy"? Biochemistry&Love (talk) 06:11, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I often hear the terms used interchangeably, so perhaps the article would be better suited as "Neuropsychiatric pharmacy." I'm aware that there's also a page on neuropsychiatry, but there's also the distinct pages for psychiatry and neurology. Any thoughts would be welcomed!

The other term is broader. I guess the question is do we want separate articles or just one? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:47, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's really at the heart of it, for me. In pharmacy, the BCPP certification represents both psychiatric and neurological pharmacy, and a lot of BCPPs call themselves "neuropsychiatric" pharmacists. I've heard that the BCPP is named so moreso for historical reasons (similar to how CPNP calls itself the College of Psychiatric and Neurologic Pharmacists). From speaking to BCPPs, the BCPP certification exam includes questions on psychiatric and neurologic subjects. Biochemistry&Love (talk) 22:27, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. While references include both phrases, the deciding factor (in my opinion) is: "Psychiatric pharmacists tend to have a board certification in the specialty of psychiatric pharmacy, granting the title of Board Certified Psychiatric Pharmacist." Axl ¤ [Talk] 12:29, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
oppose agree w/ Axl--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 15:53, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
oppose name change: stay with the simpler name; the current name is unambiguous. Klbrain (talk) 16:02, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
