August 2025
Welcome to 2025–2026 in the New Practitioners Forum!
We’re stepping into a year of bold ideas, powerful connections, and meaningful impact—and I couldn’t be more excited to kick it off with all of you.
Congratulations to our newly appointed advisory group members! As a community of early-career pharmacists, we are full of potential—and together, we’re shaping the future of pharmacy. This year, we’ll bring our mission to life: to empower new pharmacy practitioners to connect, grow, create, and lead. And we’ll lean into our vision: to be the new practitioner community for practice and professional needs.
Whether you’re just finishing residency, transitioning into a new role, advancing clinical practice, or exploring leadership—you belong here!
Here's what's ahead:
- A renewed focus on marketing and member celebration
We're spotlighting the incredible work new practitioners are doing across the country and amplifying your voice across ASHP platforms. - More connection, more collaboration
From advisory group initiatives to national programming, we're making it easier than ever to plug in and make your mark.
