On behalf of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, Dr. Helen Zhang, International Affairs Secretary of the Hospital Pharmacy Committee of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, presented ACCP leadership with a congratulatory letter and a special plate in appreciation of the collaboration between the two associations and in celebration of ACCP’s 40th anniversary.

Commenting on her experience and observations of the 2019 ACCP Annual Meeting, Zhang stated:

“I have been to many international and national pharmacy conferences in recent years, but the ACCP annual conference in New York is by far the most academic and professional meeting. There is no dramatic opening ceremony, no industry-sponsored sessions, no exhibition and no commercial initiatives. What I can find are participant-centered programs that attend to the needs of clinical pharmacists, students, administrators and researchers. In addition, most sessions have allowed ample time for questions and interactions which foster a true learning atmosphere. At this 40th year special session, I understand more about the history and progress of ACCP through the poster wall and am deeply impressed by the founders’ vision.

On behalf of our committee, I would like to congratulate ACCP again for its success in the past 40 years in expanding the frontier of clinical pharmacy, and also thank ACCP for spreading its influence to Chinese pharmacists. Looking forward to another successful 40 years.”
