Co-curriculum Accreditation: Lessons Learned

When:  Sep 23, 2020 from 04:00 PM to 05:00 PM (ET)

Hosted by the Co-Curricular Community

Speakers will share experiences from recent accreditation site visits, with a focus on the co-curricular elements of their programs. Since addition of co-curricular elements of PharmD programs happened with implementation of ACPE Standards 2016, some schools have yet to experience this review and have their co-curricular programs critiqued. Standard 4 and some elements of Standard 3 can be supported by student involvement in co-curricular activities. Three speakers will describe their co-curricular programs, and their experience with accreditation site visits under Standards 2016.

Objectives:

  1. Describe co-curricular programs of a variety of institutions
  2. Explain the accreditation review experience with a focus on co-curriculum
  3. Discuss lessons learned about this process from a variety of institutions
  4. Implement changes to your co-curricular program to better meet accreditation expectations
