The AACP Learning Series is a new educational delivery model designed to provide meaningful professional development through shorter, live, longitudinal learning experiences. Each series consists of 3–6 interactive online sessions delivered over the course of a semester or academic year, with sessions held for one hour at a time to accommodate busy schedules. Focused on advancing knowledge, promoting practical application, and fostering peer connection, the Learning Series address timely topics in teaching, service, research and scholarship, and academic administration. Participants will engage in live discussions, networking, and collaborative learning with colleagues across academic pharmacy. To reinforce learning and support real-world application, each session may include up to 30 minutes of pre- or post-session activities. Explore the four Learning Series offerings below to learn more about each program’s content, schedule, and learning outcomes.

Digital Health Learning Series

Program Description: The Digital Health Learning Series is designed specifically for pharmacy faculty, staff, and administrators. These sessions use the Absorb–Do–Connect model to translate digital health concepts into actionable educational strategies and clinical workflows. Attendees will engage in live, case-based webinars that explore everything from remote patient monitoring to change management and institutional adoption. 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.

Learning Objectives: 
1.    Describe the role and application of digital health technologies in pharmacy practice. (The Why)
2.    Plan effective strategies for incorporating digital health technologies into pharmacy education. (The How in Curriculum)
3.    Apply digital health technology initiatives across education and practice by identifying opportunities for collaboration, implementation, and scholarship. (The How in Practice/Scholarship)
