Learning Series - Digital Health

Digital Health Learning Series: The Foundation for Digital Health Integration in Pharmacy Education

Healthcare is evolving at a breakneck pace, and digital health is no longer just a trend—it is the current standard of care. If we don’t actively engage with these technologies today, we risk our profession being left behind. More importantly, we risk leaving our students ill-equipped to care for patients in a modern landscape.

The Digital Health Learning Series is designed specifically for pharmacy faculty, staff, and administrators. These sessions support individual professional development by using the Absorb–Do–Connect model to translate digital health concepts into practical, ready-to-use strategies. Attendees will engage in live, case-based webinars that explore everything from trusted technology resources, curricular integration, learning activities/assessment, and scholarship/partnership opportunities. By participating, attendees will collaborate with peers to bridge the gap between the classroom and modern practice, identifying unique opportunities for scholarship and implementation. Importantly, this program serves as the vital head start to help prepare educators for the student pharmacist digital health competencies that the AACP Professional Affairs Committee is actively developing during the 2026–2027 academic year. Don’t miss this chance to be equipped with the tools to lead in the digital transformation of patient care.
