New ACCP Publications

Resident Survival Guide

ACCP is proud to offer the Resident Survival Guide, a new preparatory manual for residency training. A companion handbook designed to steer the resident through the various stages of a PGY1 or PGY2 program, it also contains valuable advice on preparing for a post-residency career.

Dr. John Murphy and a prestigious group of experienced clinical pharmacy faculty and preceptors have written a guide that imparts insight, wisdom, experience, and advice to cover all aspects of the residency experience. Residents will learn what to anticipate in their program; how to individualize their training; how to best select elective rotations; how to get the most out of giving and receiving feedback; how to best plan, complete, and disseminate the results of their residency project; and much more. Nourishing the Soul of Pharmacy

In November, Nourishing the Soul of Pharmacy: Stories of Reflection will be released. This collection of essays embraces the use of reflective inquiry to enhance empathy for patients and elicit deeper bonds among practitioners. As pharmacy continues to evolve as a health profession, it becomes ever more essential that practitioners demonstrate care and compassion for the patients they serve. We hope that these stories, including those of patient encounters, will lead the reader to insights that are more complex and thus improved patient care.

Editors Thomas D. Zlatic and William A. Zellmer have chosen essays that demonstrate the value of reflection at all stages of education and practice. Essays have been contributed by senior professors and beginning faculty; pharmacy directors and new clinicians; preceptors, residents, and Pharm.D. students; and pharmacists from industry and government.

This book is intended for a variety of audiences including practitioners, educators, and students as well as perhaps patients, caregivers, and health care professionals seeking a better understanding of pharmacists and the roles they perform. For educators who might wish to adopt the volume as a supplementary textbook, an appendix for using reflection as a learning strategy is included.

Also New at the ACCP Bookstore

New editions of some of the best-selling pharmacotherapeutic titles are now available:

Look for two new titles in Research and Outcomes Assessment. The goal of How to Conduct Surveys is to guide readers in developing their own rigorous surveys and evaluating the credibility of others. This book gives practical step-by-step advice on how to achieve that goal. Written in a clear and accessible style, this fourth edition reflects changes in the way people prepare surveys, use them with the public, and report the results.

Designing and Conducting Health Surveys (http://www.accp.com/bookstore/ro_03dchs.aspx) is written for students, teachers, researchers, and anyone who conducts health surveys. The third edition draws heavily on the most recent methodological research on survey design and the rich storehouse of insights and implications provided by cognitive research on question and questionnaire design in particular. This resource presents a total survey error framework for charting the dangerous waters between the systematic and random errors that inevitably accompany the survey design enterprise.

Other new editions at the ACCP Bookstore include the Pharmacy Professional’s Guide to Resumes, CVs, and Interviewing, Third Edition (in Practice Development), and Synchronicity: The Inner Path of Leadership, Second Edition (in Leadership and Administration).
