An exciting new publication will arrive from ACCP in fall 2010. The Clinical Faculty Survival Guide, an enhanced update to ACCP’s 2004 Clinical Faculty Survival Kit, will be a valuable resource for both full-time and adjunct clinical faculty as they begin and advance their careers.

Thomas Zlatic, Ph.D., the volume editor, has recruited experienced, respected authorities within the pharmacy profession to serve as authors and reviewers on this project.
