Plan now to attend ACCP Academy programming at the 2012 ACCP Annual Meeting, October 21–24, in Hollywood, Florida. The ACCP Academy provides four unique professional development programs leading to certificates of completion in Career Advancement (formerly Clinical Practice Advancement), Leadership and Management, Research and Scholarship, and Teaching and Learning. The foundational prerequisite courses for the Teaching and Learning program and the Career Advancement program, as well as a required course for the Research and Scholarship program, will be presented as premeeting symposia on Saturday, October 20. A separate registration fee is required to attend any of these sessions.
ACCP Academy programming during the Annual Meeting will include both required modules and elective courses, according to preestablished course schedules. Additional sessions, including Leadership and Management courses, are included in the Annual Meeting registration fee. An abbreviated schedule of Academy programming, including both presymposia and programming embedded in the Annual Meeting, is summarized below.
