After 27 years of distinguished service as Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Richard T. Scheife has announced that he will retire from his position at the end of 2012. The Pharmacotherapy Board of Directors has developed a 3-year strategic plan that includes moving the publication of the journal to a commercial publisher and recruiting a university-based, nationally recognized, clinical pharmacy research scholar as the next Editor-in-Chief of Pharmacotherapy. In January 2012, publication of the journal was successfully transitioned to Wiley-Blackwell publications. With Dr. Scheife’s retirement at the end of 2012, the Board of Directors is now initiating a search process to recruit a new Editor-in-Chief who will assume this role in January 2013. Dr. Scheife has agreed to remain at the journal until the next Editor-in-Chief is appointed and in place.

A consummate editor, reviewer, mentor, and scholar, Dr. Scheife will be honored during the 2012 ACCP Annual Meeting in Hollywood, Florida, October 21–24, 2012. More details about Dr. Scheife’s recognition at October’s Annual Meeting will follow this summer. The position announcement for the Pharmacotherapy Editor-in-Chief position can be found in the professional placement section at the end of this issue of the ACCP Report.
