College of Clinical Pharmacy

The Strategic Plan of the American

(Endorsed by the ACCP Board of Regents: November 12, 2010)

The strategic planning process of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy has typically occurred on a 3- to 5-year cycle. Every fourth or fifth year, ACCP has organized a major planning initiative that included a broad representation of its membership. These initiatives have served to update and create a new strategic plan, identify goals and objectives, and begin the process of developing action-oriented strategies to achieve the stated objectives.

The intention of the plan is to guide the organization for the next few years. Perhaps more focused than previous plans, it includes only three critical issues (previous plans have contained four to six critical issues). Expressed concisely, the plan concentrates on how ACCP will seek to develop, advance, and position clinical pharmacists within the current health care environment.

· Develop refers to the College’s provision of effective methods to help clinical pharmacists accomplish continuous professional development.

· Advance details ACCP’s efforts to achieve recognition of the value of clinical pharmacists by payers, regulators, and the scientific/professional community.

· Position refers to the College’s work with constituencies external to the profession to establish and affirm the credibility of clinical pharmacists as clinicians, educators, and researchers.
