Several papers developed by ACCP members and committees were recently published on the ACCP Web site. Most ACCP-developed papers now appear on the ACCP Web site as early, pre-publication drafts before their publication in the College’s official journal, Pharmacotherapy.

Among the group of recently released papers is a timely ACCP White Paper recommending a new framework for specialist certification and the first installment in a new series of ACCP Student Primers, “Pharmacy Practice Research Careers.” Visit http://www.accp.com/govt/positionPapers.aspx to download any of the new entries below.
