We are pleased to announce that this year’s annual SMSHP Residency Showcase will be held over two days: Tuesday, October 13th and Wednesday, October 14th. The program will be held in a virtual, online-only format. All PGY-1 and PGY-2 programs are invited to attend. Programs will only need to attend one of the two nights; candidates can select those programs and times of particular interest. The virtual format is being designed to help highlight the strengths and unique features of each program. We will have breakout sessions for candidate/resident interactions.
If you are interested in attending this year’s showcase, please save the date. We will be sending out requests for Program RSVP and program details mid-September. Residency candidates do not need to take any action at this time. In the meantime, if you have questions please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Warm regards,
Jillian DiClemente jdiclem@med.umich.edu

SMSHP will be holding its Annual Residency Showcase virtually this year! Stay tuned for more details!
We want to share news that Dan Ashby will be officially retiring as Vice President for Pharmacy Services for the Johns Hopkins Health System. Dan’s last day with the organization will be July 1, 2020. As you may know, Dan has been an SMSHP member for many years and served in the past as President of the organization.
To help create a lasting legacy of Dan’s innumerable contributions to pharmacy practice, the American Society of Health System Pharmacists (ASHP) Foundation has created the Daniel M. Ashby Fund for Excellence in Pharmacy Residency Training. A description of this planned fund is attached for your information.
We hope that you might kindly consider joining in making a meaningful contribution to this special fund in Dan’s honor to the ASHP Foundation. Your donation would be a wonderful tribute to Dan’s career and his enormous impact on pharmacy practice.
We hope to raise an initial $250,000 for the fund. And with your help, we can truly make a difference in pharmacy residency training through initiatives such as awards to recognize and disseminate best practices in pharmacy residency training, grants to expand pharmacy residency positions, or support for access, development, and delivery of distance education programs for pharmacy residency preceptors and program directors.
If you would like, you can donate to the Ashby Fund securely online through the ASHP Foundation website, or you can complete and return the attached form which can be used to make a pledge that can be paid over the months ahead or over the next few years. Your gift is tax-deductible.
Thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration of this request.
