Live round action of ACCP’s novel, national team competition for pharmacy students, the Clinical Pharmacy Challenge, will be held in Phoenix at the upcoming ACCP Annual Meeting. The competition continues to grow each year, drawing participation from 115 institutions representing 46 states and two international institutions.
The online competition, which concluded September 8, gave eligible teams the opportunity to compete in up to four rounds of competition, during which they answered items in each of the competition’s distinct segments:
- Trivia/Lightning
- Clinical Case
- Jeopardy-style
The item content used in each segment was developed and reviewed by an expert panel of clinical pharmacy practitioners and educators.
From the initial field of 115 teams, eight will advance to compete in the live round competition in Phoenix on October 7–9. Quarterfinal teams will be vying for a spot in the final round for a chance to win up to $1500 and the title of Clinical Pharmacy Challenge Champion.
