Diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility: Alignment with the mission and core values of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy

Responding to the changing landscape of health care is a critical responsibility of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP). Aligned with its mission of extending the frontiers of clinical pharmacy, ACCP is committed to embracing diversity and inclusion as a core value. Creating a comprehensive organizational strategy reflecting the College's authentic endeavors to embrace the tasks required is an ongoing effort. ACCP is embracing an inclusive vision whereby all members can feel welcomed, valued, respected, and heard. Belief that the journey will bring diverse voices, leadership, and understanding for all clinical pharmacists sustains the College's motivation toward this goal. In this commentary, we, as past presidents of ACCP, are learning the challenges related to this endeavor and systematically addressing each issue. Each ACCP member is an essential partner as the College strives toward being an inclusive organizational home for all clinical pharmacists. This commentary summarizes the rationale for this work and the alignment of ACCP's efforts with its core values. We must remain firm in our belief that inclusive clinical pharmacy leaders can recognize diversity and equity gaps, mobilize as advocates to amplify underrepresented voices, and transform hope into action for future generations.
