• Providing a professional community within ASHP for HSPAL residents as they transition into pharmacy practice leadership.
• Developing and promoting contributions to the growth of the pharmacy profession through research and quality improvement.
• Promoting leadership and engagement opportunities for HSPAL residents, including opportunities with PELA and ASHP’s Section of Pharmacy Practice Leaders that support early career development.
