Season’s Greetings, New Practitioners! 

As the year comes to a close and the holiday season is in full swing, I hope you are all enjoying the festive atmosphere and reflecting on the personal and professional accomplishments of the past year. One of the most exciting events on the horizon is the 2024 ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting & Exhibition in New Orleans, Louisiana, Dec. 8—12. Whether it’s your first time attending or you’re returning for another year, this meeting is a fantastic opportunity to enhance your knowledge, grow your career, and connect with fellow pharmacy professionals nationwide. 

I hope to meet everyone at the New Practitioner Networking Session on Sunday, Dec. 8 from 2:30 –to 3:30 pm. This is the perfect opportunity to build connections, share experiences, and establish professional relationships that will support you as you navigate your early career. Whether you're attending the Midyear to prepare for PPS interviews, exploring PGY1 or PGY2 pharmacy residency programs, or considering other career transitions, this session will provide a valuable platform for career networking and growth. 

I would also like to extend my gratitude to those who attended the first session of the Leadership Development Series: Saying No with Grace with guest speakers Ashley Duty, PharmD, MS, BCSP, FASHP and Kellie L.E. Musch, PharmD, MS. This inaugural session of the Leadership Development Series had invaluable participation and engagement, and we look forward to your continued involvement next quarter! For those who missed it, be sure to look out for the next session, which will be announced soon.  

As you prepare for the New Year, remember to prioritize your well-being during this busy season of showcases, CV updates, residency interviews, and job applications using the ASHP Well-Being Resource Center and stay engaged with the NPF Connect Community and X/Twitter. If you have any ideas or comments you would like to share, send us an email at [email protected]. I wish you all a joyous holiday season and look forward to meeting many of you in New Orleans! 

Sincerely,

Allison Gorseth, PharmD, BCPS
