The ACCP Board of Regents voted last month to approve the application of the Arkansas College of Clinical Pharmacy as ACCP’s newest chapter. The approval of the Arkansas chapter brings the number of ACCP chapters to 19 nationally and internationally.

News of the approval of the chapter’s application was met with enthusiasm by chapter members. Chapter President Amy Franks, Pharm.D., talked with ACCP Report about the fledgling chapter’s plans for the future.

“We are thrilled to become the newest chapter of ACCP!” she said, adding:
We have received tremendous support from our membership. Everyone is excited and ready to start work toward meeting our goals for 2012. We are looking forward to supporting cutting-edge clinical pharmacy practice and forming strong collaborations among our members from institutions across Arkansas.

The new chapter’s geographic area encompasses the state of Arkansas. More than 50 members already have joined the chapter as charter members. For more information on the newly approved Arkansas College of Clinical Pharmacy, contact Chapter President Amy Franks, [email protected].
