#HeadacheHighlights Plain Language Summary: This qualitative interview study describes the roles of clinical pharmacist practitioners (CPPs) in Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Headache Centers of Excellence (HCoEs) and non-HCoE VHA facilities. Findings suggest that CPPs who are integrated within HCoE service infrastructure tend to have more opportunities than CPPs in non-HCoE VHA facilities to contribute their unique skills for improving patient access to high-quality, evidence-based headache care. Results also suggest that CPPs can extend headache specialists’ services through their integration into interdisciplinary headache care teams.
