Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at 2:33PM In the spirit of our organizational mission – to advance common interests of clinical pharmacists to enhance patient care – we hope to identify from you, our membership, how we can best attain that goal. Over the past couple months, 22 OCCP members volunteered to assemble 3 small work groups to design and craft questions that would be formed into a survey. Check your inboxes (and possibly spam folders) for an individual link to the survey. It should take no more than 5 minutes of your time and will help shape the future of OCCP! The survey closes April 30th.
