American Society of Consultant Pharmacists
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (ASCP) is an international professional association that provides education, advocacy and resources to advance the practice of senior care pharmacy, and that represents the interests of consultant pharmacists who work with elderly patients.
The Alexandria, Virginia-based organization was founded in 1969 by several entrepreneurial consultant pharmacists including George F. Archambault and R. Tim Webster. It holds two major conventions each year and hosts numerous other events for health care professionals.

ASCP publishes The Consultant Pharmacist, a monthly, peer-reviewed, scholarly journal indexed in MEDLINE.[1] ASCP also publishes peer-reviewed supplements to that journal, the ASCP Update newsletter,[2] and numerous books, websites, and reference materials for health care professionals.[3]
