Online rounds of the Clinical Pharmacy Challenge (CPC), ACCP’s novel, national team competition, began September 10. Now in its second decade of competition, the CPC continues to draw nationwide participation from 109 institutions representing 43 states and 1 international university.
Because of the impact of COVID-19, all rounds of the competition will be conducted online. Click here to view the complete 2020 CPC schedule. Teams will answer items in each of the competition’s three distinct segments:
- Trivia/Lightning
- Clinical Case
- Jeopardy-style
Item content used in each segment has been developed and reviewed by an expert panel of clinical pharmacy practitioners and educators. The 2020 ACCP Clinical Pharmacy Challenge Item-Author Panel was led by its chair, Megan Musselman, Pharm.D., M.S., BCPS, BCCCP.
Each team member advancing to the quarterfinal round will receive a complimentary student full-meeting registration for the 2020 Annual Meeting, an ACCP gift certificate for $125, and a certificate of recognition.
