Q4 2019 (October - December)

Welcome to the Quarterly Update from the American College of Clinical Pharmacology
®
! The Quarterly Update will replace the Annual Report that was traditionally issued after the close of the fiscal year. In this new format, ACCP will provide more current information about successes and goals achieved in the previous quarter.
In 2019, ACCP celebrated 50 years of contributing to the global clinical pharmacology community. The 2019 ACCP Annual Meeting was a huge success with 93% of attendees rating the meeting as Excellent/Good and indicating they would recommend it to colleagues. 85% also rated the educational content as Excellent/Good. An Anniversary Gala and celebratory video completed the occasion.
In early 2019, the society launched the ACCP365 Mobile App, providing 24/7/365 access to all things ACCP any time, any place. The functionality of ACCP365 will continue to be expanded as we move into 2020.
Remaining true its Vision & Mission as it spearheads the transformation of clinical pharmacology, the society continues to develop and promote high-quality Live and On Demand educational events and programming, consistent with its commitment to the dissemination of scientific information for the benefit of all.
ACCP remains committed to supporting Students, Trainees & Early-stage Professionals, by providing them with year-round educational tools and opportunities for professional growth and development.
ACCP will continue to pursue productive collaborations with similarly-focused societies that share ACCP’s commitment to the future of clinical pharmacology.

Strategic Plan Initiative
|
|
ACCP is undertaking the development of a new Strategic Plan that will shape the direction of the society for the next five years. Following the successful implementation of the 2015 – 2019 Strategic Plan, ACCP will utilize quantitative data from surveys and qualitative data from interviews to begin structuring the overarching objectives of the plan. An in-person meeting of the Working Group on the Strategic Plan will be held in late February to assess previously-gathered information and begin to formulate the plan to address the challenges faced by ACCP and the global clinical pharmacology community.

Needs Assessment
ACCP performed its annual Needs Assessment in October of 2019. The survey was distributed to more than 3,000 contacts, including ACCP Members and Non-member clinical pharmacology professionals.
Respondents represented a diversified background and provided their opinion on key issues such as ACCP’s value, its Member Benefits and its educational programs. 65% of those who responded to this survey indicated being in practice for more than 20 years, 52% indicated practicing in industry/pharmaceutical companies and 45% indicated involvement in academic/research fields.
The data gathered provides ACCP with insights regarding the respondents’ level of engagement with the society. Up to 60% of respondents indicated engaging with ACCP at various levels. The most relevant opportunities include attending the Annual Meeting (74%), submitting an abstract for presentation (61%), visiting ACCP’s website on a regular basis to access
The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development
or educational offerings (47%) and serving on a committee (36%).
Among the most valuable benefits offered by ACCP, Member respondents indicated that having free access to the latest scientific research/high-quality publications (46%) is the most important benefit. This is followed by opportunities to enhance skills and assume leadership roles (32%). Non-member respondents indicated that ACCP programs with interdisciplinary/interprofessional focus on learning and networking opportunities to enhance career development (47%) are equally important. This was followed by free access to latest scientific research/high-quality publications (43%).
Most cited areas of interest for continuing education across the entirety of respondents include pharmacokinetics (ADME)/pharmacodynamics, clinical pharmacology in outpatient/in-patient settings, biostatistics/clinical trials/ clinical research and pharmacometrics. The most attended educational activities include ACCP’s Annual Meeting (66% of Members) and ACCP’s Virtual Journal Club (67% of Non-members). This supported the data that 71% of respondents indicated that live meetings and webinars are their preferred method of learning, followed by text/article-based education 56%. The majority indicated participating in ACCP activities because the topics are of their interest and for their professional development.
