Each May, we pause to celebrate pharmacy student graduations and the forthcoming completion by residents and fellows in their training programs. As these graduates transition to their next phase of professional life, a wonderful opportunity exists to share your gifts of knowledge and enhance their careers. ACCP Publications offers several titles that will be welcomed additions to the libraries of these new practitioners. Here are just a few of the titles available from the ACCP Bookstore.

Clinical Faculty Survival Guide provides practical information, advice, and encouragement to ensure success as a clinical faculty member in the varied roles of practitioner, teacher, researcher, and scholar. New faculty members will find this book helpful and easy to read as they obtain a head start on a long and successful career. And if you are a more seasoned faculty member who serves as a mentor to younger colleagues, you will find the book’s content useful and advantageous for imparting career advice.

Step-by-step suggestions and advice provide the knowledge and skill needed in the important subject areas of Clinical Practice; Leadership; Teaching, Precepting, and Mentoring; Research and Scholarship; and Lifelong Learning. Comprehensive references and links to useful resources are provided throughout.

The Resident Survival Guide is a detailed guidebook for clinical pharmacy residents as they embark on their residency experience. Once they make the important decision to seek a residency, they will find that their decision opens up many opportunities and presents many challenges. Within the residency program, they will transition into superbly skilled and licensed professionals. They will acquire knowledge while confronting heavy workloads, patient care responsibilities, challenging assignments, and demands on their time from preceptors, team members, and students. The Resident Survival Guide will assist them in meeting these challenges and taking advantage of these opportunities. The authors—leaders in the clinical pharmacy profession—offer potential and current clinical pharmacy residents insight and advice for understanding and learning to manage these challenges while gaining lifelong advantages from the residency experience.

Nourishing the Soul of Pharmacy: Stories of Reflection. ACCP has collected a series of essays that provide a reflective look at pharmacists’ roles in patient care—essays developed to enhance practitioners’ empathy for their patients and elicit deeper bonds among pharmacists as well as other health care professionals. This goal is consistent with the imperative for practitioners to show care and compassion for every patient they serve, as an essential ingredient in pharmacy’s continuing evolution as a health profession.

Reflection in this volume refers to stories, particularly of patient encounters, that lead to complex insight and improved patient care. This book is intended for a variety of audiences: practitioners, educators, and students as well as perhaps patients, caregivers, and health care professionals who seek a better understanding of pharmacists and the roles they perform.

Clinical Pharmacy in the United States: Transformation of a Profession is a comprehensive account of the evolution of clinical pharmacy, providing great insight to anyone who cares about the profession of pharmacy. Beginning with an overview of the profession’s evolution and proceeding through the decade-specific chapters that follow, the authors trace the clinical pharmacy movement from its beginning to the present. The book’s unique organization provides important context beyond the profession of pharmacy by including a concise overview of U.S. culture, politics, economics, technology, health, and other events, melded with the major clinical pharmacy–related events. A time line that chronicles the key events flows across the bottom of the page. Distributed throughout the book are reflective essays—personal accounts that provide an on-the-ground perspective and impart a “you-are-there” dimension.
