ASHP CONNECT MENTOR MATCH is dedicated to meeting the professional development needs of our members. this unique online networking and career development tool is designed to help members around the world find and connect with one another to establish mutually beneficial mentoring relationships.

THE PPMI HOSPITAL SELF-ASSESSMENT was developed to assess an individual hospital’s conformity with the recommendations from the ppMi Summit. the tool consists of 106 questions assessing adoption of the ppMi recommendations at the hospital level. upon completing the questions, the tool will allow the user to develop a list of priorities (an “Action List”) individualized to their own hospital/health system. hospitals will also have the opportunity to generate reports comparing their data with aggregated data collected from similar hospitals within and across their state. A list of resources will also be provided to assist hospitals in implementing change in their institution at www.ppmiassessment.org.

THE ASHP-SSHP RECOGNITION PROGRAM is offered by AShp to Student Societies of health-system pharmacy (SShps) nationwide as an opportunity for official recognition by AShp.
