2021 Clinical Skills Competition
Midyear Clinical Meeting (Virtual)
Saturday, December 4 - Semi-Final Round
Sunday, December 5 - Final Round
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a number of Schools and Colleges of Pharmacy transitioned to virtual or hybrid learning environments. Given the evolving situation, ASHP left the option of how to conduct the local Clinical Skills Competition open to the various Schools and Colleges of Pharmacy. No specific restrictions or platforms were enforced. To support virtual local competitions, ASHP developed a Best Practices Guide to facilitate operations and planning for the local CSCs.
