AMERICAN SOCIETY OF HEALTH-SYSTEM

Membership programs - activities and resources for members include clinical research and professional publications including a subscription to ajhp, e-newsletters and daily briefings. There is organized representation at the federal level and relevant federal regulatory agencies about legislation and regulations that affect pharmacy practice, and communication with the public about the role of health-system pharmacists. Members are provided networking opportunities by their participation in our councils, committees, discussion groups and mentor exchange. Our members receive current practice tools and resources through our special interest sections and forums, educational conferences, and online resource centers.

Accreditation services - ashp accredits pharmacy residency and pharmacy technician programs. Further, this service is committed to assisting existing residencies refine their programs, helping prospective programs with the process of seeking accreditation, and assisting prospective pharmacy residents to get the information needed to find the best residency program for them. Accreditation involves the act of granting approval to a postgraduate pharmacy residency program after the program has met set requirements and has been reviewed and evaluated through a formal process. Postgraduate residency programs are considered the best source of highly qualified clinical pharmacists.ashp maintains a longstanding commitment to well-being and resilience on behalf of patients, public health, our members and the pharmacy profession; including the well-being ambassadors program supported through a grant by the health resources and services administration of the department of health and human services.
