The Ambassador Program provides funding and support for AAPP members to present at interprofessional conferences regarding the integration of BCPPs into practice. These are intended to be introductory sessions that appeal both to audiences who are unaware of BCPPs and to audiences who need more information before adding a BCPP to the team.
Although proposals are only reviewed as we approach deadlines, members are welcome to prepare the proposals throughout the year. Manage your Ambassador Program proposals online.
