By the early 1970s, debates over pharmacy manpower, pharmacists roles, and pharmacy education were heightened. In 1972, AACP President Arthur Schwarting recommended the formation of a Commission on Pharmacy to study the scope of pharmacy services in health care and to project the educational requirements needed to train pharmacists to provide these services. The commission was chaired by John S. Millis, President of the National Fund for Medical Education. The Millis Commission s report, Pharmacists for the Future, was published in 1975. The report contained 14 recommendations for pharmacy practice and education. Among these were continued movement of pharmacy as a knowledge-based clinical profession, increased development of clinical practice sites for pharmacy school faculty, and development of a national board licensing exam for pharmacists.
