Are you a resident or fellow who is interested in becoming more involved in ACCP? The College encourages postgraduate trainees who want to enhance their leadership skills, network with colleagues across the country, and interact with clinical pharmacy leaders to apply for appointment to a leadership position on the 2011–2012 National Resident Advisory Committee.

The National Resident Advisory Committee, appointed annually by the ACCP President-Elect, is composed of residents, fellows, or graduate students. Members serve a 1-year term, and the committee is typically composed of 8–12 individuals. Leadership positions on the Resident Advisory Committee are available to resident or fellow members of ACCP who plan to pursue an additional year of training. Appointed positions include:

• Chair (1-year term)
• Vice Chair (1-year term)

The committee serves in an advisory capacity to the ACCP Board of Regents and staff, providing feedback and assistance in developing new programs and services for postgraduate trainee members, consistent with the College’s vision of clinical pharmacy practice, research, and education.

The committee meets in person at the College’s Annual Meeting in October and communicates by conference calls and e-mails to complete its assigned charges. Appointees to the National Resident Advisory Committee will receive a complimentary meeting registration to attend the ACCP Annual Meeting held during their committee term. For additional information on the application process, or to submit an application, please visit http://www.accp.com/membership/rac.aspx. The deadline for applications is June 17, 2011.
