Program Description
While public health, quality care and aging are at the center of modern pharmacy education, the extent of academic pharmacy's involvement in those areas is not necessarily well understood by policy makers or the public. This year's Interim Meeting will showcase successful partnerships between colleges and schools of pharmacy and federal agencies and other community partners in addressing public health, quality care and aging issues. During the meeting, special focus will be given to:
- Expanded experiential learning sites;
- The impact that quality assurance programs like formularies, and academic detailing have on health outcomes;
- Increasing recognition that contemporary pharmacy graduates are the appropriate health professional for medication therapy management; and
- Creating connections with an expanded group of public and private supporters, and policy makers leading to greater systems changes and improving the public's health.
Prior to the start of the Interim Meeting, new deans will be invited to participate in a pre-session designed to develop their leadership and team-oriented skills. To find out if you qualify contact Ken Miller at kmiller@aacp.org.

Federal Partners for Geriatric Pharmacy Education |
One of the greatest challenges facing the health care community is the growing number of elderly that will require quality care. Learn about how two federal agencies have partnered with colleges and schools of pharmacy on improving the care of our nation's senior citizens.
The Agency on Aging (AoA) offers an opportunity to connect with our nation's aging network. Concerned with the physical and mental well-being of older adults, AoA programs are varied and administered through hundreds of area agencies on aging across America.
The Geriatric Education Center (GEC) program administered by HRSA provides with interdisciplinary learning opportunities for your students and research opportunities focused on geriatric health care.
