The AACP Leadership Development Special Interest Group (LD SIG) held a one-hour Virtual Networking Session during the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) 2020 Annual Meeting. The purpose of the session was to connect attendees with colleagues from other institutions sharing similar interests related to leadership development through an engaging "Virtual Think Tank" (VTT). The VTT included facilitated collaboration which enabled small groups to develop "Collaborative Leadership Initiative Plans" (CLIPs) based on shared leadership interest areas. A CLIP is an idea for a multi-institutional programmatic or scholarly initiative that is expected to lead to deliverables or outcomes mutually beneficial for all collaborators. Facilitators then assisted the CLIP groups with identifying specific deliverables and potential outcomes of successful implementation, as well as a plan for group follow-up. Seventy-two attendees from 55 unique institutions participated to form seven CLIP groups consisting of an average of ten individuals each. CLIP ideas generated included an initiative to align faculty tenure and promotion criteria to incentivize entrepreneurship and innovation among faculty, incorporation of a leadership project into Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences in the experiential pharmacy curriculum, and creation of a cross-institutional co-curricular program for students. An important legacy of the session was a leadership networking contact list, called the Leadership Networking Database, which will serve as an enduring leadership networking tool. This session offered an innovative solution to a canceled in-person professional meeting and replaced missed networking and collaboration opportunities resulting from cancellation of the in-person meeting.
美国药学院协会（AACP）领导力发展特别兴趣小组（LD SIG）在美国药学院协会2020年年会期间举办了一场为时一小时的虚拟交流活动。该活动的目的是通过一个引人入胜的“虚拟智囊团”（VTT），将与会者与来自其他机构、对领导力发展有着相似兴趣的同事联系起来。虚拟智囊团包括促进协作，使小组能够基于共同的领导力兴趣领域制定“协作领导力倡议计划”（CLIP）。CLIP是一个关于多机构项目或学术倡议的想法，有望产生对所有合作者都互利的可交付成果或成果。主持人随后协助CLIP小组确定成功实施的具体可交付成果和潜在成果，以及小组后续跟进计划。来自55个不同机构的72名与会者参与其中，组成了7个CLIP小组，每个小组平均有10人。产生的CLIP想法包括一项使教师任期和晋升标准与激励教师创业和创新相一致的倡议，将一个领导力项目纳入药学实践课程中的高级药学实践经验，以及为学生创建一个跨机构的课外项目。该活动的一项重要遗产是一个名为“领导力网络数据库”的领导力网络联系人列表，它将作为一个持久的领导力网络工具。本次活动为取消的线下专业会议提供了一个创新解决方案，并弥补了因取消线下会议而错过的网络交流和合作机会。
