American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) is a 30,000 member national professional association that represents pharmacist who practice in hospitals, health maintenance organizations, long-term care facilities, home care, and other components of health care systems. ASHP believes that the mission of pharmacists is to help people make the best use of medicines. Assisting pharmacists in fulfilling this mission is ASHP’s primary objective. The society has extensive publishing and educational programs designed to help members improve their professional practice. ASHP is also the national accrediting organization for pharmacy residency programs.
Through ASHP-SSHP, students have the opportunity to attend the Midyear Clinical Meeting, the largest showcase of residency and fellowship programs in the country, information on residencies throughout the U.S. and opportunities to network with pharmacists across the country.
