Pharmacy Practice Lab Redesign
Cohort: 2020
Fellow: Ashley Castleberry
The College of Pharmacy is embarking on one of the biggest curricular revisions in the past decade by creating a Pharmacy Practice Lab sequence spanning all six semesters of our didactic program. The course series will combine content from seven existing courses in order to decrease redundancy and duplication to create increased alignment and reinforcement. Rather than students learning content within “the silo” of a single course, students will be required to retain and apply their knowledge and skills throughout the entire curriculum.
Addressing Population Health through Interprofessional Community Engagement
Cohort: 2018
Fellow: Veronica Young
Pharmacists are an integral member of the health care team, trained to provide care based on evidence. However, the nationwide call-to-action to transform the delivery of care requires a cultural shift in educating students in health professions programs. The rapidly evolving health ecosystem mandates practitioners to work collaboratively in teams to provide person-centered and population oriented care.
