Abstract
This document sets forth ACCP's expectations for clinical pharmacists within the United States and countries around the world where clinical pharmacy is emerging or already well established. It is also intended to serve as a reference for those designing and assessing clinical pharmacy education and training programs. In addition to articulating the clinical pharmacist's process of care, the eight standards described within address the clinical pharmacist's involvement in collaborative team‐based, patient‐centered care; credentialing and privileging; professional development and maintenance of competence; professionalism and ethics; research and scholarship; and other professional responsibilities. The standards define for the public, healthcare professionals, and policymakers what they can and should expect of clinical pharmacists.
