Owner / Founder Track

You stand at a unique vantage point. As an experienced pharmacist, particularly one versed in the complexities explored in the core CASP curriculum, you possess deep clinical acumen and a firsthand understanding of the immense challenges and profound opportunities within specialty pharmacy. You’ve seen the gaps in care, navigated the labyrinth of access, and witnessed the life-changing impact these therapies have on patients.

Perhaps you’ve felt the constraints of existing systems. Perhaps you’ve envisioned a better way – a more patient-centric model, a more efficient workflow, a niche service desperately needed in your community. Perhaps the entrepreneurial spirit, the desire to build something impactful from the ground up, resonates deeply within you.

If so, this track is designed for you. The CASP Owner / Founder Track is not merely an extension of your clinical training; it is a rigorous, comprehensive immersion into the intricate world of specialty pharmacy entrepreneurship. We recognize that your foundation is clinical excellence. Our mission now is to equip you with the strategic, operational, financial, and regulatory mastery required to translate that clinical vision into a thriving, compliant, and impactful business reality.

This is not a theoretical overview. This is your practical, step-by-step blueprint, drawing upon best practices and hard-won lessons from successful specialty pharmacy founders. We will move from market analysis and pro forma development to the granular details of licensing, facility design, technology stacks, staffing, accreditation, payer contracting, manufacturer relations, and sustainable growth strategies. We will address the daunting financial hurdles, the complex compliance mandates, and the strategic decisions that separate aspiration from achievement.
