About

How we got started

The Ohio Pharmacy Workforce Consortium (OPWC) was started in 2022 to begin a state-wide initiative to study the labor and economic trends of pharmacists in Ohio.

The OPWC launched its first survey in March 2023 and plans to complete the survey every other year to study trends over time and to compare state-wide data to national trends as reported in the National Pharmacist Workforce Studies (NPWS) sponsored by the Pharmacy Workforce Center (PWC).
