Thanks to the work of the 2006–2007 Public and Professional Relations Committee, the College is pleased to announce the debut of a new ACCP Web-based series, ACCP Model Practices in Patient Care, Education, and Research. The purpose of the series is to describe and disseminate model practices of ACCP members that have impacts on clinical care, education, and research while also stimulating innovation and advancement in these areas of clinical pharmacy.

The first model practice, “A Pharmacist-Staffed Inpatient Antithrombosis Service,” authored by Dr. William Dager from the University of California Davis Medical Center, focuses on patient care. This model practice can be accessed on the ACCP Web site at http://www.accp.com/docs/modelpracticedager.pdf and is also available to all student members through the StuNet Web page. Subsequent model practices in clinical pharmacy education and research will be posted to the Web site in April and May, respectively.

The members of the 2006–2007 Public and Professional Relations Committee who developed this series were Judy Cheng (Committee Chair), William Dager, Lisa Davis, Jean-Francois Guevin, Michael Gulseth, Mary Hess, Michael Hooks, Dan Longyhore, Michele Splinter, and Kim Tallian. More information about the series, including how to submit new model practices for inclusion in this ongoing series, can be found at http://www.accp.com/modelpractices.php.
