ACCP honored 57 new Academy graduates during the ACCP Academy graduation ceremony held at the 2015 ACCP Global Conference on Clinical Pharmacy in San Francisco, California. ACCP President Judith Jacobi welcomed the graduating class, together with members of the Academy faculty and ACCP leadership, at a special commencement breakfast event on October 20. The commencement address was delivered by ACCP Past President Curtis Haas.
The ACCP Academy was established to provide high-quality and readily accessible professional development opportunities for members of the College. In 2006, the Academy had 43 participants. Today, more than 500 participants are enrolled in an Academy certificate program, and since 2008, more than 350 graduates have successfully completed one or more Academy tracks.
The new graduates recognized during the graduation ceremony completed all the required modules in their respective programs, as well as selected electives. In addition to participating in live, interactive Academy courses, graduates develop online portfolios, complete a series of required readings, and receive feedback on course assignments from one or more mentors. ACCP congratulates all of these graduates on their accomplishments:
