Second Installment in New Online Series

The College is pleased to announce the release of the second installment in the 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 an impact on clinical care, education, or research while stimulating innovation and advancement in these areas of clinical pharmacy.

“Model Practice in Clinical Pharmacy Education,” by Dr. Milap Nahata from Ohio State University College of Pharmacy, describes a clinical pharmacy educational program that has been developed and implemented on a comprehensive health sciences campus. The first model practice in the series, “A Pharmacist-Staffed Inpatient Antithrombosis Service,” written by Dr. William Dager from the University of California Davis Medical Center, was released last month. These model practices can be accessed on the ACCP Web site at http://www.accp.com/modelpractices.php and are also available to all student members through the StuNet Web page. The third model practice in the series focuses on clinical pharmacy research and will be posted to the Web site in May.

The members of the 2006–2007 ACCP 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.
