Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Pharmacy Education Institute

CPE Activity Announcement

April 3-5, 2024

Virtual

Target Audience

AACP encourages any faculty member, administrator, or staff person to attend. This Institute would be particularly impactful for faculty and staff involved in curriculum and assessment committees, assistant/associate deans of academic affairs, and CEO Deans.

Agenda

The AACP Research and Graduate Affairs committee, under the leadership of Chair Kathy Giacomini and Vice Chair Vicki Ellingrod, is developing a longitudinal (6-8 month), hybrid grant writing program for 2025, with virtual coursework and anchored by an in-person workshop at the AACP annual meeting in July 2025. The program is intended as an intensive grant writing course for pharmacy faculty preparing to submit their first large research or career development proposal (e.g., an NIH R01 or K08 award).  What sets the program apart from other grant writing programs is the extensive use of recently successful NIH grants, as well as examples and experiences drawn from pharmacy faculty and research. Though the focus is on large NIH or NIH-type grants, information presented in the program can be applied to smaller grants, for example from foundations or other entities.

Participants are expected to enter the program with a research project and target funding source and finish with a substantially complete grant proposal for submission in Fall 2025. Participants should have the support of their department chair or dean to attend, given the expected time and resource commitment for the program, including the registration fee and travel costs to the in-person workshop. AACP is currently gauging interest in the program and would appreciate your feedback on the following questions:

At the virtual Institute, April 3-5, attendees will gain new knowledge, skills and opportunities for application of AI in the pharmacy classroom and pharmacy practice settings.

AACP today announced the recipients of its top awards for 2024, which recognize six individuals, one institution, one organization and one scholarly paper, for their outstanding contributions made to pharmacy education, research, patient outcomes, community service and academic publishing.
