ACPAC
What is the ACPAC Special Interest Group?
The ACPAC Special Interest Group (SIG) was formed at the Annual General Meeting of ACPAC Graduates and Trainees in October 2017. As the number of ACPAC graduates and trainees increased, a need was identified to formalize ourselves as a unique healthcare resource. In 2019, AHPA formally established the ACPAC SIG within its’ organizational structure. To date, work has focused on advancing ACPAC roles within the healthcare system by establishing pillars and priorities, of which Leadership is the foundation for our pillars of Advocacy, Research and Education.
Why join the ACPAC SIG?
The ACPAC SIG represents all graduates and trainees of the ACPAC program who wish to become members. The benefits of becoming a member of the ACPAC SIG include:
- A collective virtual home;

There is strength in numbers! We strongly encourage each and every ACPAC graduate to become an AHPA/ACPAC SIG member.
