Key findings
Article examines the geographic relationship between pharmacists practicing under expanded scope and the proportion of vulnerable population (low income and immigrant status) living in the pharmacy’s neighbourhood. Findings: Pharamcists with expanded scope are concentrated in areas with higher income and high concentrations of new immigrants. This is a paradoxical finding – high income is not surprising but high level of immigrants is, and warrants further study
