Education & Research

Improving patient care through evidence-based education and cutting-edge research

Education

New York State ACCP works with our members, partnering New York pharmacy organizations, and national pharmacy organizations to deliver high-quality live and on-demand virtual educational opportunities. Our members have access to exclusive on-demand content, including journal club activities, evidence-based disease reviews, and specialty topics delivered by clinical pharmacists across New York. Our regular newsletter also provides members with up-to-date synopses of newly published literature, important updates in pharmacy practice, and strategies to improve pharmacy-driven patient care.

Research

New York State ACCP supports interprofessional, translational research initiatives throughout New York that have helped advance patient care from the benchtop to the bedside. Our members have access to skilled research mentors and networking opportunities to assist with research design, implementation, and dissemination. We also support our members through research grant opportunities and funding to support research presentations at regional or national professional meetings.
