The current status of pharmaceutical services in the United States Air Force Medical Service is described. The mission of the USAF Medical Service is to provide medical support to combat forces and to deliver health care to active duty and retired military members and their dependents. The USAF operates 121 medical treatment facilities (MTFs) worldwide. Pharmaceutical services in these MTFs are governed by federal law, recognized standards of professional practice, Department of Defense directives, and Air Force regulations. Ambulatory-care services are emphasized, and clinical services are provided in many MTFs. Pharmaceutical services are supported by the TRIPHARM computer system. In addition to other professional opportunities, USAF pharmacists have the opportunity to pursue graduate-level academic training or residency training under Air Force Institute of Technology sponsorship. The USAF Medical Service will continue to ensure that contemporary pharmaceutical services are available in all MTFs by providing graduate-level training to pharmacists, encouraging the adoption of new technologies, and facilitating the exchange of information among MTFs.
