Since its inception in 2006, the ACCP Student Travel Awards program has provided more than $25,000 in the form of stipends and complimentary meeting registrations to support student attendance at the College’s national meetings. This year, ACCP expanded its Travel Award initiative to encourage and support the professional growth of postgraduate trainee members: residents, fellows, and graduate students.
One of the best ways for students and postgraduate trainees to experience organized clinical pharmacy in action is to participate in an ACCP national meeting. This fall, through the generous support of individual members and the PRNs, students and postgraduate trainees will have the opportunity to do just that at the upcoming Annual Meeting in Anaheim, California, honoring ACCP’s 30th anniversary.
