ACPHS "ACPE Self-Study" Alumni Feedback Webinars
Dear ACPHS Alumni,
As many of you know, ACPE is the accrediting body for all schools of pharmacy. They require a written self-study report and on-site visit every 5-7 years. Our last visit was in 2011, and our next visit is quickly approaching in October of 2016. As part of the self-study process, we want to ensure that all stakeholders are involved and have a chance to comment on our report.
In 2016, ACPE released new standards for the Doctor of Pharmacy program. There are 25 standards; 8 on didactic and experiential curriculum, 15 on organizational structure, student support and resources, and 2 on assessment of the curriculum and program. Noticeable differences from the prior standards include new education standards, an emphasis on outcomes data, interprofessional education, personal and professional development and co-curricular initiatives.
A steering committee of faculty and administrators was appointed to lead the self-study process last spring. The committee has coordinated the evaluation of data and a systematic process for writing the report. Teams of 2-3 faculty and/or staff were asked to evaluate available data on each standard and write a short narrative addressing key points and general compliance. The narratives have been through several iterations and have incorporated feedback from students, faculty and administrators.
To ensure our self-study is inclusive of all stakeholder perspectives, we would like to invite you to review and provide feedback on relevant standards. These include:
ACPE Standard
Standard 1 – Foundational Knowledge
Standard 2 – Essentials for Practice and Care
Standard 3 – Approach to Practice and Care
Standard 4 – Personal and Professional Development
Standard 7 – Strategic Plan
Standard 9 – Organizational Culture
Standard 12 - Pre-APPE Curriculum
Standard 13 – APPE Curriculum
Standard 14 - Student Services
Standard 15 - Academic Environment
Standard 21 – Physical Facilities and Educational Resources
We will be holding several webinars through Skype in the coming weeks. The webinars will include a short presentation on the relevant standards. We will collect your questions and comments through a survey after the webinar. The Steering Committee will use these comments to ensure the alumni perspective is represented in our report.
The dates on the webinar are:
Tuesday, May 24 at 12:00pm EST
Thursday May 26 at 7:00pm EST
Wednesday, June 1 at 12:00pm EST
Please RSVP to one of the webinars below if you are interested in participating. An email with the narratives and instructions on how to access the Skype webinar will be sent prior to the presentation to those who would like to participate.
As always, thank you for your support of ACPHS. Your feedback in invaluable to this process.
