Competition Overview

The ACCP Clinical Pharmacy Challenge is a team-based competition. Teams of three students will compete against teams from other schools and colleges of pharmacy in a “quiz bowl”–type format. Only one team per institution can enter the competition. Institutions with branch campuses, distance satellites, and/or several interested teams are encouraged to conduct a local competition. ACCP will provide a written examination that may be used by institutions as a basis for their local competition, if they so desire. This examination is available by e-mail request, and it may be requested by the ACCP Faculty Liaison or registering faculty member. Please address your e-mail request to Michelle Kucera, Pharm.D., BCPS, at [email protected].

Preliminary rounds of the national competition will be conducted virtually in September. The quarterfinal, semifinal, and final rounds will be held live at the ACCP Annual Meeting in Albuquerque, New Mexico, October 12–14, 2013. Competition Schedule.
