A number of factors have come together to provide new opportunities for pharmacists, especially in patient care and expanded professional roles. But with the new opportunities also comes challenges, including the challenge of how to manage the personal and professional resources necessary to succeed in today s ever-changing environment. 

EPA is naturally interested in producing risk assessments of the highest possible quality. This requires that each assessment is sensitive to site-specific conditions, while using procedures that are consistent with those of other agency-sponsored assessments. Both inconsistency in approach and lack of technical quality (such as insensitivity to local conditions) represent problems in the risk assessment process. EPA is actively engaged in several efforts to maintain quality and consistency in risk assessment, in the face of distinctly limited professional resources.
