As one of the leading voices in pharmacy, Pamela Schweitzer combines her expertise in public health policy with her dedication to serving underrepresented communities. In 2014, she became the first woman to serve as the Assistant Surgeon General and Chief Pharmacist Officer of the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) and made meaningful change in her 4-year term. Throughout her career in public service, Pam has worked to modernize Medicaid eligibility and enrollment, improve drug pricing, and implement inclusive policies. Now, in retirement, Pam works as a Senior Consultant at the Loran Group and continues to serve on the board at the NCPDP Foundation, the board of trustees at the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Services, and the board of directors at the NCPA Innovation Center. Outside of pharmacy, Pam is a private pilot and certified scuba diver.
