The ACCP Clinical Pharmacy Challenge is a team-based competition in which teams of three students compete with teams from other schools and colleges of pharmacy in a “quiz bowl” format. Because of the impact of COVID-19 across the nation, all rounds were conducted online this year. Each round consists of questions offered in the three distinct segments indicated below. Item content used in each segment has been developed and reviewed by an expert panel of clinical pharmacy practitioners and educators.

• Trivia/Lightning
• Clinical Case
• Jeopardy-style

Teams in the 2020 competition that advanced to the quarterfinal round will each receive three complimentary student full-meeting registrations for the virtual Annual Meeting to be held in October. Each team member will receive an ACCP gift certificate for $125 and a certificate of recognition. In addition, semifinal teams that did not advance to the final round will receive a semifinal team plaque for display at their institution. The second-place team will receive a $750 cash award ($250 to each member) and a commemorative team plaque. The winning team will receive a $1500 cash award ($500 to each member), and each team member will receive a commemorative plaque. A team trophy will be awarded to the winning institution.
