In 2007, in anticipation of ACCP’s 30th anniversary celebration, ACCP Past President Gary Matzke issued a call to all PRNs to record their organizational history. At this milestone in ACCP’s history, it is important to document the key roles played by the PRNs in the success of the College and the contributions each has made to the clinical pharmacy profession.

During the past 2 years, each PRN has worked diligently to develop a paper and poster presentation highlighting the history, growth, and unique accomplishments of its members. The PRN history papers are posted on the ACCP Web site at http://www.accp.com/prns/history.aspx. Posters will be presented as part of the College’s 30th anniversary celebration during the 2009 ACCP Annual Meeting in Anaheim, California, later this month. A listing of PRN poster presentations follows.
