ASHP Establishes New Pharmacy Administration and Leadership Residents' Collaborative for HSPAL Resident Community

ASHP is pleased to announce the creation of the new Pharmacy Administration and Leadership Residents’ Collaborative to serve as a home within ASHP for unique offerings for the Health-System Pharmacy Administration and Leadership (HSPAL) resident community. 

The Pharmacy Administration and Leadership Residents’ Collaborative will build on existing ASHP opportunities for the HSPAL community and provide enhanced services, member resource development, and engagements with the Pharmacy Executive Leadership Alliance (PELA)®, the Section of Pharmacy Practice Leaders, the ASHP Foundation, and other ASHP resources that further elevate ASHP’s support for the nation’s hospitals and health-system leaders of tomorrow.

To enhance and expand opportunities for HSPAL residents as future chief pharmacy officers and executives, pharmacy managers, and directors, the Pharmacy Administration and Leadership Residents’ Collaborative will establish an advisory committee of HSPAL residents and three workgroups that will focus on:

• Providing a professional community within ASHP for HSPAL residents as they transition into pharmacy practice leadership.
• Developing and promoting contributions to the growth of the pharmacy profession through research and quality improvement.
• Promoting leadership and engagement opportunities for HSPAL residents, including opportunities with PELA and ASHP’s Section of Pharmacy Practice Leaders that support early career development.

“We are excited to launch the Pharmacy Administration and Leadership Residents’ Collaborative, which is an important component of ASHP’s commitment to supporting leadership development for the pharmacy profession,” said ASHP Chief Executive Officer Paul W. Abramowitz, Pharm.D., Sc.D. (Hon), FASHP. “The Pharmacy Administration and Leadership Residents’ Collaborative will increase engagement within ASHP by providing a community for HSPAL residents as they transition into pharmacy practice and further strengthen the connectivity among HSPAL residency programs and their leaders. The Pharmacy Administration and Leadership Residents’ Collaborative is another great example of ASHP’s commitment to innovation to support leadership development in residency training and will pave the way for future opportunities.”

The Pharmacy Administration and Leadership Residents’ Collaborative will soon conduct virtual networking opportunities and traditional activities at ASHP’s 2021 Conference for Pharmacy Leaders. Additionally, the advisory committee will be charged with helping to determine the roadmap and portfolio of volunteer opportunities, peer-to-peer engagement opportunities, networking with pharmacy executive opportunities, and areas they can support ASHP initiatives.
