The College is pleased to announce the release of the third 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.
“Clinical and Experimental Therapeutics,” by Dr. Susan Fagan from the University of Georgia College of Pharmacy, describes a clinical and translational research program designed to develop new treatments for stroke patients. Dr. Fagan describes the unique Stroke Laboratory at the Norwood V.A. Medical Center in Augusta, Georgia, and highlights the outcomes and impact of the laboratory’s research. The first two model practices in this series, “A Pharmacist-Staffed Inpatient Antithrombosis Service,” by Dr. William Dager from the University of California Davis Medical Center, and “Model Practice in Clinical Pharmacy Education,” by Dr. Milap Nahata from the Ohio State University College of Pharmacy, were released in March and April, respectively. These model practices can be accessed from 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 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.
