The ACCP Academy’s Research and Scholarship Certificate Program is designed to help clinical pharmacists develop basic clinical research and scholarly abilities. Established by ACCP in 2008, the program integrates research theory with practical applications while involving participants in scholarly work early in the curriculum. Participants are challenged to explore individual professional research and scholarly activity goals to make the experience as relevant as possible within their respective professional contexts. A certificate of completion is awarded to participants who complete 26.0 contact hours: 22.0 hours of required modules and 4.0 hours of electives. The program’s required modules are as follows:

• Prerequisite Module: Research Primer (6.0 hours)
• Module No. 1: Basics of Clinical Research (4.0 hours)
• Module No. 2: Statistical Issues (4.0 hours)
• Module No. 3: Regulatory/Ethical Issues (4.0 hours)
• Module No. 4: Conducting and Reporting Research (4.0 hours)

Each elective module, consisting of 2.0 contact hours of instruction, is designed to meet the widely varied needs of program participants, focusing on specific areas of research and scholarship not covered in-depth by the required modules.
