SICP Advisory Groups

ASHP’s Section of Inpatient Care Practitioners has four advisory groups that play a crucial role in supporting specialized areas within the section. These groups provide expert guidance, develop recommendations, and address specific issues or projects, working closely with the Executive Committee to implement strategic goals. They are instrumental in shaping policies, driving initiatives, and offering insights that enhance patient care, while also improving the section's operations and member services.
