To be considered for Fellowship, candidates must be nominated by any of the following: two Full Members of ACCP, one Fellow of ACCP, or a member of the Board of Regents. Separate letters of recommendation are not required nor considered in the evaluation process. Nominations for FCCP are submitted online at www.accp.com/membership/nominations.aspx, and are accepted annually beginning in the fall. The deadline for submission of nominations is February 15.

Nominees for FCCP must 1) be Full Members of ACCP for at least 5 years, 2) have been in practice for at least 10 years since receipt of their highest professional pharmacy degree (Pharm.D. or B.S.), and 3) have made sustained contributions to ACCP (see evaluation criteria below).

After the nomination period closes, eligible nominees receive e-mail notification of their nomination, and are asked to submit the necessary application materials to be considered for recognition as a Fellow. Completed applications are reviewed by the Credentials: Fellowship Committee, and are subsequently submitted for approval by the ACCP Board of Regents.

The 2021 Credentials: Fellowship (FCCP) Committee has created an informational video on the application process for Fellowship in ACCP. The purpose of this video is to walk applicants through the application and evaluation process, highlight criteria for initial eligibility, and provide guidance on required sections. The committee has also identified some important clarification points based on past applications which makes applications as complete as possible.

After nomination by their colleagues, Fellow candidates undergo a comprehensive evaluation of their service to the College and their practice and research accomplishments. Persons nominated as a Fellow must have made a substantial contribution to ACCP through activities such as presentations at College-sponsored meetings; service as a reviewer for ACCP, Pharmacotherapy, or the ACCP Research Institute; contributions to College publications; service as a committee member; or contributions as a Practice and Research Network Chair, chapter officer, or elected ACCP officer or Regent.

Practice and research criteria evaluated by the committee include examples of patient care service or educational programs developed by the nominee; certifications or other credentials earned; drug therapy management responsibilities; educational presentations; consultantships; service to publications; original research presentations, projects, funding, and publications; and other professional activities and awards.
