National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) is an association representing independent pharmacy owners, employee pharmacists, and pharmacy students.  Independent pharmacy owners have the opportunity to practice pharmacy the way they choose, with the care of the patient being top priority.  Pharmacists are trained to serve their patients and, in the independent setting, this service develops into a loyal relationship between the pharmacist and the patient.  The major objectives of student chapters are to foster the entrepreneurial spirit in pharmacy students and to encourage them to develop private practices upon graduation. Also, NCPA represents specialty pharmacies that  provide services such as compounding, diabetes care, asthma services, durable medical equipment, and other patient services in a retail pharmacy setting.
