It is essential that pharmacy learners develop a professional identity by internalizing a core set of professional norms which in turn affect their thoughts, feelings, and actions.

A Virtual Training Session for Practice-based Implementation and Programmatic Assessment

Pharmacy faculty, graduate students or administrators engaged in or interested in pharmacy research, programmatic assessment or implementation science are encouraged to attend this interactive, 90-minute virtual session on Thursday, October 12, 2023.

The events of recent years have exacerbated pharmacy faculty burnout, negatively impacting morale and engagement. As a result, some faculty are disengaging while others are choosing to leave academia altogether.

Successful remediation is a key contributor to on-time progression rates. Remediation approaches vary in timing, maximum opportunities allowed per student, structure, preparation efforts, and faculty workload.

There has been a call to action to champion equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) within pharmacy curricula. Speakers from two schools will present approaches used to incorporate EDI into self-care therapeutics courses.

Talking about death tends to be an unpopular and underutilized topic in education. For schools that do cover it, death education is often limited to end-of-life pharmacotherapy and advanced care planning. Through the pandemic, the fragility of life has come to the forefront as important for students to be prepared to address this sensitive topic. In this session, faculty from two schools will discuss novel teaching tools available to engage students in compassionate conversations about death in the didactic, experiential, and interprofessional settings.

The goal of this webinar is to provide practical suggestions as to how pediatric patients can be addressed in existing curricula, including pharmacy calculations, patient education, and medication administration.
