Lorinda Anderson, PharmD, BCPS, is a Clinical Associate Professor at Oregon State University / Oregon Health Sciences University College of Pharmacy who teaches in the Pharmacy Practice lab sequence and women’s health therapeutics. Dr. Anderson maintains a clinical site with the Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis where she rounds with an internal medicine post-graduate program academic team. Dr. Anderson is a board-certified pharmacotherapy specialist and is involved in research that focuses on women’s health, pharmacist-prescribed hormonal contraception, and clinical pharmacist services within community pharmacies. In 2015, Dr. Anderson served on the workgroup for the Oregon Board of Pharmacy to develop and implement the first statewide protocol in the country that allows pharmacists to prescribe hormonal contraception. At the same time, Dr. Anderson worked closely with board to create a training and certification program to train pharmacists how to prescribe hormonal contraception. Today, more than half the states in the country have passed legislation, or broadly utilize collaborative practice agreements, for pharmacist-provided hormonal contraception. Many of these states have utilized Oregon's statewide protocol and the training that Dr. Anderson developed as an example in helping implement their own programs. Oregon now utilizes an interdisciplinary committee, called the Public Health and Pharmacy Formulary Advisory Committee (PHPFAC), to approve new statewide protocols that now allows pharmacists to prescribe for many categories of medications including HIV PEP and PrEP, travel medicine, tobacco cessation, and vulvovaginal candidiasis. In addition to researching clinical services by community pharmacists, Dr. Anderson now serves as the chair of the PHPFAC and works to help address barriers that community pharmacies face when integrating new prescribing services; such as reimbursement for pharmacists services.
