The AAPP New Practitioner Hub is for AAPP members within their first five years of practice. The goal of this Hub is to help new practitioners transition into psychiatric pharmacy practice.

Articles are not intended to provide in-depth disease state or pharmacotherapy information nor replace any peer-reviewed educational materials. We hope you benefit from this “field guide” discussing approaches to unique problems and situations. Explore what experienced practitioners wish they knew about:
