Online rounds of the 2024 Clinical Pharmacy Challenge (CPC), ACCP’s novel, national team competition, began September 5. Now in its second decade of competition, the CPC continues to draw widespread participation – this year, from 110 institutions representing 45 states, one international university, and the District of Columbia.
Click here to view the complete 2024 CPC schedule. The teams will answer items in each of the competition’s three distinct segments:
- Trivia/Lightning
- Clinical Case
- Jeopardy-style
The item content used in each segment was developed and reviewed by an expert panel of clinical pharmacy practitioners and educators. This year’s CPC item-author panel was led by its chair, Julianne Fallon, Pharm.D., BCCP.
Each team member advancing to the quarterfinal round will receive a complimentary student full-meeting registration for the 2024 ACCP Annual Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona; an ACCP gift certificate for $125; and a certificate of recognition.
