Postgraduate Trainee Update

All resident, fellow, and graduate student members of ACCP currently receive a monthly electronic newsletter titled Experts in Training. The newsletter primarily highlights membership benefits of ACCP, but it also addresses individual questions in greater detail through the Q&A section. You may view the archives through the link above. If there are topics you’d like to see covered in future editions, submit your ideas to [email protected].

Educational programming for our resident members continues to increase. In addition to the “Chart the Course of Your Professional Future” presentation and the Career Path Roundtables at the Annual Meeting, resident-specific webinars are offered twice yearly. In November 2014, “Residents Precepting Students: From Trainees to Trainers” was presented by Dr. Brianne Dunn, assistant clinical professor in the Department of Clinical Pharmacy and Outcomes Sciences at the South Carolina College of Pharmacy, clinical pharmacy specialist in cardiology at the Wm. Jennings Bryan Dorn VA Medical Center, and the 2014 ACCP New Educator Award recipient. In May 2015, Dr. Brian Cross will present “On Your Own: Developing and Sustaining a Collaborative Pharmacy Practice.” Residents can receive continuing pharmacy education credit for these live or recorded webinars.

Fifty-three postgraduate trainee members of ACCP currently participate in the 2014–2015 Mentoring Program. Mentors are ACCP members who have at least 5 years of professional experience and have volunteered to participate in the program. Mentor/mentee pairs are encouraged to correspond at least monthly and are provided with timely topics of discussion. A call for mentors goes out each year in August.

The College is currently accepting applications for all positions on the 2015–2016 National Resident Advisory Committee. The committee is a working group composed of resident, fellow, or graduate student members of ACCP. Applications for chair, vice chair, and member-at-large positions are due by June 12, 2015.
