In collaboration with AAPP, three exciting projects are planned or in progress for 2023 that will advance the psychiatric pharmacist workforce. Donor support has made these projects possible – thank you to everyone who has donated to the AAPP Foundation so far in 2022. To support these projects as we move into 2023, please consider a gift toward our year-end campaign.
- Residency Showcase (Nov. 2022): The AAPP Foundation (AAPPF) provided funding for technology and infrastructure updates for the residency showcase. These expanded optiosn include capacity for video uploads and the scheduling of individual interviews. AAPPF also funded participation for all residency programs, so now PGY1 residents, students, and residency programs can participate free of charge.
- Phase I Research for AAPP’s Employer Resource Center Task Force: Making the case for the creation of psychiatric pharmacy residencies and the hiring of BCPPs (i.e. creating jobs) is a focal point for this taskforce. With the Foundation’s support, in-depth employer interviews and research is underway to inform the contents of the center intended to be broadly available and promoted in late 2023, early 2024.
- Leadership Curriculum: Our rapidly evolving world and health care system needs leaders. AAPP and the AAPP Foundation are dedicated to growing the next generation of leaders in psychiatric pharmacy. Work will soon be underway to prioritize leader competencies and develop a curriculum that will support pharmacists in preparing for opportunities to make a difference as a leader.
Contributions to our year-end campaign will support these projects along with ongoing projects and initiatives, including:
- Defining the Future Research Grant Program
- Student Chapter Impact Grant Program
- Student Registration Awards for the AAPP Annual Meeting
If there is a specific project that you would like to support, please add a note in the online order system when making your donation. Thank you for helping us move psychiatric pharmacy forward.
