At the 2007 Annual Meeting in Denver, ACCP President Matzke issued a call to all PRN chairs to develop a document that characterizes the history of their PRN. This information will highlight the key roles the PRNs have played in the success of the College and the contributions each has made to the clinical pharmacy profession.

Each PRN is developing a five- to seven-page paper and poster presentation highlighting the history, growth, and unique accomplishments of its members. This material will become part of the College’s 30th anniversary celebration in 2009.

Project timeline:

• First draft of paper submitted to the PRN Board Liaison by November 15, 2008
• Comments from the Board Liaison sent to PRN leadership by January 15, 2009
• Poster draft and design discussed among PRN members at the 2009 International Congress on Clinical Pharmacy in April 2009
• Final draft of paper presented to PRN membership for final approval
• Final draft of paper submitted to the Board Liaison by May 15, 2009
• Notify ACCP staff that the PRN will be participating in the 2009 Annual Meeting PRN poster presentation by June 1, 2009
• PRN poster presented at 30th Annual Meeting, October 2009 (Anaheim)
• PRN paper along with elements of the poster may be made available on the College’s Web site
