Mark your calendar for the 2008 ACCP Annual Meeting in Louisville, Kentucky, October 19–22. Meeting events will take place at the Kentucky International Convention Center, located in the heart of downtown Louisville. The home of the Kentucky Derby, “the most exciting two minutes in sports,” offers attendees a booming downtown and entertainment district.

Arrive in Louisville a day early and attend one of the premeeting symposia on Saturday, October 18. Choose from topics in ambulatory cardiology, critical care nephrology, training for faculty and preceptors, leadership, or research and scholarship development—the newest ACCP Academy certificate program, which will be unveiled at this year’s Annual Meeting.

FOR STUDENTS: a special Saturday afternoon program, developed exclusively for student pharmacists, will focus on clinical pharmacy specialties and subspecialities, emphasizing the many career opportunities afforded by pursuing specialization.

The core of the Annual Meeting consists of four curricular tracks: (1) Translational Research: Predicting Patient Response to Pharmacotherapy, (2) Respiratory Disease Through the Continuum of Care, (3) Quality of Care: Will Pharmacy Have a Say?, and (4) Emergency Medicine. Other meeting highlights include:
