Membership in the Academy is open to any Society member who considers him/herself a new practitioner, generally having graduated from a Doctor of Pharmacy degree program within the past seven years.

New Grad Survival Kit
Attention pharmacy students and recent graduates! Do you need to become licensed in Colorado? The Academy of New Practitioners offers a “New Grad Survival Kit” full of all the information you need to know about registering for your exams, obtaining your license, finding a job, advancing your career, paying off your student loans, and so much more!
ANP Pharmacy Pulse
As new practitioners, we experience moments that remind us why we chose this profession, as well as moments that leave us frustrated, uncertain, or wondering if others feel the same way.
The ANP Pharmacy Pulse is a space where new practitioners (or anyone practicing in pharmacy) can anonymously share the highs, lows, questions, and realities of practicing pharmacy. Selected submissions may be discussed during ANP meetings, highlighted in CPS communications, or used to help shape future programming and advocacy efforts. You do not need to have a solution or a perfectly positive story. Sometimes, simply knowing others have experienced something similar can make a difference.
ASHP Midyear Meeting
Curious or maybe overwhelmed by all that ASHP Midyear Meeting has to offer? The Academy of New Practitioners is here to help!
We’ve put together some short presentations on some common topics and questions that student pharmacists have about Midyear and navigating the conference:
