ACCP Student Chapters provide students with a local connection to the national organization. They exist for the following reasons:
- To familiarize students with the field of clinical pharmacy by providing information about careers and opportunities, promoting dedication to excellence in patient care, research, and education.
- To advocate for the role of clinical pharmacists in providing direct patient care, including evaluation of the patient and their pharmacotherapeutic needs.
- To encourage participation in the American College of Clinical Pharmacy at the national level and in local/regional chapters.
