Travel Awards Given for 2011 ACCP Annual Meeting

One of the best ways for students and postgraduate trainees to experience organized clinical pharmacy in action is to participate in an ACCP national meeting.

This fall, through the generous support of individual members and the PRNs, 41 students and postgraduate trainees will have the opportunity to do just that at the Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Please join us in congratulating the following recipients of the 2011 ACCP Annual Meeting travel awards:

Donations to the travel award fund helped support this fall’s awards, and they will continue to fund awards supporting student and postgraduate trainee attendance at upcoming ACCP national meetings.
