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 2012–2013 National Resident Advisory Committee.

The National Resident Advisory Committee is a working group composed of residents, fellows, or graduate student members appointed annually by the ACCP President-Elect. Members serve a 1-year term, and the committee is typically composed of 8–12 members. Appointed leadership positions include:

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

The committee functions 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 ACCP President-Elect develops specific charges that serve as the focus of the committee’s work during the year.

The committee meets in person at the College’s Annual Meeting in October and communicates by conference call and e-mail 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 enter your application, please visit http://www.accp.com/membership/rac.aspx. The deadline for applications is June 15, 2012.
