SCSS Advisory Groups
ASHP’s Section of Clinical Specialists and Scientists 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.
