She focused her work on researching pharmacists’ scope of practice and payment for pharmacists’ patient care services.
Weaver served as the American Pharmacists Association Foundation’s Executive Resident from 2012 to 2013.

“The Executive Fellowship program provided a springboard to launch my career in pharmacy association management. The connections I made during my year at the APhA Foundation led not only to my subsequent position with the National Alliance of State Pharmacy Associations (NASPA), but also enhanced my work there. My links to APhA staff and leadership forged new opportunities for collaborations between NASPA and APhA and helped me to better support the state pharmacy associations’ relationships with APhA. In my new career as a healthcare attorney, echoes of my time with the APhA Foundation ring through in the form of project management and leadership skills and knowledge of the broader healthcare system.”
