estate plan. A rapt audience listened to Dr.
Anderson articulate a compelling argument
for supporting the Foundation.
It was great to see the mix of new practitio-
ners and seasoned ASHP members supporting
the Foundation. Johns Hopkins University and
Duke University residency classes provided
gifts with contributions from every member of
their classes. The Foundation benefited from
two corporate sponsors, Novo Nordisk and BD
Medical, through booth drives that contributed
unrestricted matching support.
The Foundation’s annual Corporate Benefit
Dinner was held for the Pharmacy Resi-
dency Expansion Grant Program and raised
$165,000 from the following Table Spon-
sors: Actavis, Inc.; Baxter International Inc.;
Cardinal Health; Hospira Worldwide, Inc.;
Mylan; Omnicell, Inc.; Par Pharmaceutical,
Inc.; PharMEDium; Roxane Laboratories;
Samson Medical Technologies; and Visante,
Inc. Proceeds from the dinner, combined
with gifts in memory of Janet Teeters totaling
$36,900, are essential to providing residency
grants in 2015 and beyond.
“We are very grateful to the outpouring of
support from ASHP members and the corpo-
rate community,” Allen said. “The ASHP Foun-
dation is looking forward to another great year
of making significant strides in patient safety
and supporting pharmacists as vital members
of the healthcare team, accountable for safe and
effective medication use.”

JHPR
Becomes
AJHP Residents Edition
A
SHP has acquired the
Journal
of Health-System Pharmacy
Residents (JHPR),
a well-known
and respected digital journal
for pharmacy residents.
Launched in June 2012 by then phar-
macy residents Bryan C. McCarthy, Jr.,
and David Reardon, the quarterly
JHPR
has attracted a large and loyal reader-
ship. McCarthy and Reardon began the
publication to provide more opportunities
for pharmacy residents to present their
research and contribute to advancing
pharmacy practice.
“This acquisition is perfectly in line with
ASHP’s long history of being the home for
pharmacy residents and supporting their
practice, research, and other scholarly
endeavors,” said Paul W. Abramowitz,
ASHP’s chief executive officer, adding that
residents are the profession’s future.
As part of that support, ASHP encour-
ages residents to publish residency project
manuscripts, medication-use evaluations,
results from research studies, and case
reports.
AJHP
welcomes future expanded
engagement in the journal among resi-
dents, residency program directors, and
preceptors.
“We are very happy to be able to offer
this important publishing avenue to phar-
macy residents,” said Carol Wolfe, ASHP’s
vice president of publications and drug in-
formation systems. “This acquisition vastly
expands the opportunities for residents to
share their knowledge and gain the kind
of exposure that is important in building a
new career. At the same time, it adds to the
existing pharmacy literature in a ground-
breaking and exciting way.”
JHPR
will continue as
AJHP Residents
Edition,
a quarterly online supplement to
AJHP
, hosted with the journal on HighWire
Press. Access will mirror that of
AJHP.
Abstracts of
JHPR
articles will be open-
access, while full-text access will be limited
to members and subscribers.
McCarthy and Reardon will continue in
advisory roles to
JHPR
,
serving as
AJHP
contributing editors.
Pharmacy residents at the Midyear
Clinical Meeting had the opportunity to
talk with
JHPR
and
AJHP
leaders during
the Residents Meetup.
The first edition of
AJHP Residents Edition
is
due out this summer.
The Summer Meetings 2015:
Envision. Engage. Execute.
E
nvision
your world with fewer errors,
seamless transitions, and improved
outcomes.
Engage
with your peers
to discover new answers to your
questions.
Execute
these solutions into your
practice and improve patient care.
Take part in a unique and effective learn-
ing model that is revolutionizing the way
health professionals participate in live meet-
ings. This June at the ASHP Summer Meet-
ings, choose one of four content-targeted
conferences that are held concurrently. This
allows you to focus and participate in educa-
tion and networking events with like-minded
peers across the healthcare spectrum. Here
is the bonus … regardless of which confer-
ence you choose to attend, you can access
all of the sessions and events happening at
any of the four meetings. It’s the best of both
worlds — specific and focused education and
networking in your specialization with the
ability to sample other areas of interest. Your
meeting experience is completely customiz-
able; you can choose to stay in your boutique
conference, or attend any individual sessions
taking place at the other meetings.
In addition, registrants at each meeting
will have access to:
■
■
Over 18 hours of education presented by
distinguished faculty

Peer-to-peer active problem-solving events
and social gatherings

able professional development opportunity!
