Advocacy Activities Survey

For the purposes of this survey, advocacy is intended to be understood as advocating for the advancement of the pharmacy profession, including curricular content for professional or graduate programs, supporting co-curricular activities, and direct advocacy. The AACP Strategic Engagement Committee is collecting this information to identify best practices that could be used to inform the development of a shared resource guide or programming for AACP members. We ask that you submit this information for the college or school you represent; more than one person per school may submit a survey response, providing information consistent with their knowledge of or participation programs. The expected time to complete this survey is 30 minutes. 

These surveys gather information on an institution's application pool, enrollments and degrees conferred. The data from these surveys are published annually within the Profile of Pharmacy Students. Hard copies of the historical publication can be purchased in the AACP Store at lulu.com (AACP stopped producing a hard copy in 2016).

Program Overview

The DPRP is on pause for the 2024-2025 cycle. 

The purpose of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Distinguished Preceptor Recognition Program (DPRP) is to nationally recognize preceptors who are not full-time employees of a college/school of pharmacy for their sustained commitment to excellence in experiential education and professional practice. The DPRP was developed based on recommendations from the 2012 AACP Professional Affairs Committee and was approved for implementation by the AACP Board of Directors. This award is funded in part by the American Pharmacists Association (APhA), the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), and the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) Foundation.

The DPRP consists of a recognition plaque, free AACP membership for the year of DPRP recognition, and national recognition from AACP and other pharmacy associations.

General Information

Packing information and insight into 10-minute segments, micro-sessions are an innovative way for meeting attendees to engage on different strategies and tactics that address important issues. This shorter format provides an opportunity for participants to hear multiple approaches and success stories. Each micro-session will have up to five, 10-minute quick presentations or “TED” type talks and cover specific and key take-away objectives based on an overall theme. Each presentation is limited to one presenter.

Thank you for attending “Frameworks, Models and Theories in Pharmacy Implementation Research,” a virtual training session, on November 3, 2022. Please take a few minutes to fill in this anonymous survey to help us gauge the effectiveness of the session and plan for future events.

The evaluation criteria are listed below for three session types.

The Annual Meeting provides opportunities for Academy members to present and network during plenary sessions, special, mini, and micro-sessions, topical roundtables, poster presentations and in the exhibit hall. AACP members are invited to submit proposals for Special Sessions (60-minutes, maximum 5 speakers) on topics broadly applicable to contemporary pharmacy education. Proposals including perspectives from more than one institution are encouraged for 60-minute special session submissions.
