ACCP Student Initiatives Update

Student Member Demographics

We thank the many PRN members and College of Pharmacy student liaisons who have encouraged students to consider professional membership in ACCP. During the past 3 years, the number of ACCP Student Members has more than doubled, in large part because of your efforts at your local campuses.

Student Travel Awards Program
In 2006, ACCP initiated the ACCP Student Travel Awards Program to support and encourage student attendance at ACCP national meetings and expand opportunities for students throughout the organization. To date, ACCP has awarded 45 travel stipends and more than 100 complimentary full student meeting registrations.

Thank you to the PRNs who have donated funds in support of ACCP Student Travel Awards:

  • Adult Medicine
  • Ambulatory Care
  • Cardiology
  • Clinical Administration
  • Critical Care
  • Education and Training
  • Endocrine and Metabolism
  • Geriatrics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics

Please encourage students at your institutions to attend an ACCP National Meeting and apply for a Student Travel Award. For more information on the program, please visit http://www.accp.com/stunet/award.aspx.

ACCP National StuNet Advisory Committee

Initiated as a working group in 2006, the National StuNet Advisory Group became a standing committee of the College in 2007. The ACCP President-Elect appoints members to the committee.

The present 15-member committee serves in an advisory capacity to the ACCP Board of Regents and staff, providing feedback and assistance in developing new programs and services for student members consistent with the College’s vision of clinical pharmacy practice, research, and education. The current committee’s work has focused on two distinct charges:

  1. To develop a Web-based tool-kit designed to introduce first-year pharmacy students to the field of clinical pharmacy
  2. To recommend a unique concept for national pharmacy student competition that could be implemented by ACCP
Applications for 2009–2010 National StuNet Advisory Committee Now Open

Please encourage students at your institution who are interested in learning more about clinical pharmacy to apply for appointment to the 2009–2010 National StuNet Advisory Committee. This is an excellent opportunity for students to enhance their leadership skills, network with students across the country, and interact with clinical pharmacy leaders.

Students appointed to the committee will receive complimentary student meeting registrations to attend the 2009 Annual Meeting and the 2010 Spring Practice and Research Forum.

Applicants must submit a current copy of their CV, a 500-word essay detailing their interest in serving on the committee, and a letter of recommendation from an academic dean. Applications are due June 15, 2009.
