Join us for the first installment of a three-part webinar series focused on reimagining diverse student recruitment through the lens of belonging. While discussions of belonging often center around current students, it's crucial to integrate belonging into the recruitment phase to foster a more inclusive student body. This webinar series, developed by AACP's Diverse Student Recruitment and Retention Advisory Committee, introduces innovative recruitment strategies outlined in a new diverse student recruitment guide. In this initial session, we'll explore the first three strategies: Uncover the Hidden Curriculum, Build Relationships, and Build a Safe Environment. Don't miss this opportunity to revolutionize your approach to student recruitment and enhance diversity on your campus.

Proposed to be included as part of the ACPE 2025 Standards, COEPA is anticipated to formally replace both the CAPE outcomes and Entrustable Professional Activities. Hosted by the Pediatric SIG, this webinar will discuss ideas and opportunities to introduce the new COEPA into pediatric assessment opportunities. Participants will receive a historical introduction of COEPA and its creation, as well as potential implementation strategies in didactic, practical, and experiential settings. Faculty panelists will provide real-life examples and experiences to support discussion of these strategies.

Teaching public health is an important component of pharmacy education, with public health content found in multiple standards, courses, and curricular outcomes. Recognizing public health topics and material under the new COEPA guidelines and ACPE Standards 2025 will be crucial to preparing pharmacists who are able to meet the public health challenges of today and tomorrow. This webinar will examine COEPA through the lens of public health education in pharmacy and provide resources and practical tips for teaching public health to student pharmacists.

Early identification of struggling pharmacy students is crucial for cultivating academic success, mental well-being, and professional development in Schools of Pharmacy. Timely intervention is key to improving retention rates by promptly addressing issues, fostering a proactive learning environment. Attend the session to gain insights into utilizing Enflux, an analytics and decision support platform for setting up an effective early intervention process. Discover how our data-driven approach, focusing on student performance in competencies rather than just scores, enables quick identification of at-risk students. This facilitates targeted and effective interventions, streamlining support services for individual student needs. The result is a notable impact on graduation rates, effectively preparing students for successful pharmacy careers.

Pharmacogenomics involves the association of genetic variation with therapeutic outcomes. The human genome, however, is only one part of the puzzle and understanding the complexities on how the genomic variation is reflected in gene expression transcript, protein variation and the genetics of host-microbe interactions help to explain the variations incompletely captured by the genome alone.

This webinar will discuss the interpersonal and cross-departmental challenges associated with curricular innovation and integration. The Academy has seen significant evidence of the benefits of the final product of curricular change, innovation, and transformation efforts, but what about the logistical beginning and middle parts of implementing change? The presenters will detail the challenges faced in working with colleagues across departments and strategies employed to optimize outcomes for everyone involved.

Policies and Professional Development for Enhancing Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at Your College/School of Pharmacy

The virtual Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Institute, co-hosted by the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy, returns Jan. 24-26, 2024, to help members further advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism efforts at their institution and throughout the Association.

Join your colleagues February 10-12 in Phoenix for three days of networking, learning and action planning at INtegrate 2024, AACP’s Interim Meeting.

During this webinar, we will discuss different methods to integrate wellness into an existing course using an example of integration in a required pharmacotherapy course. Some of the methods discussed will include overt in-class activities, subtle "hidden" in-class activities, and online mechanisms. In addition to the method of delivery will discuss the many types of activities that can fit into any format such as mindfulness, creative works, physical movement, metacognitive development, etc. Overall the goal is to discuss various types of formats and content so attendees feel confident in implementing at least 1 strategy in their course.

Stress and burnout are well-recognized among student pharmacists. Several factors influence student pharmacists' well-being. Evidence to support interventions to address well-being in the experiential setting is lacking. The purpose of this session is to discuss wellness assessment tools that can bring self-awareness and allow for self-calibration of students, and explore how to implement interventions to promote wellbeing.
