Welcome to Florida A&M University College of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences. We established as our Single Overriding Commanding Objective (SOCO) for Fall Semester 2007, reconducting our self-assessment, rewriting our self-study document and implementing a plan of action to secure unconditional reaccreditation of the Doctor of Pharmacy Program for the maximum allowed time. We are pleased and proud to report that our faculty, staff, student body, alumni and preceptors all rose to the occasion. We completed a comprehensive self-study in a four-month timeframe verses the traditional 12-18 months.
We completely addressed and became compliant with all 30 ACPE Standards 2007criteria. We implemented a culture of assessment that now prevails out entire academic and program operations. We conducted roundtable discussions with many stakeholders in an effore to improve out curriculum.
In effect, we left no sone in the College unturned. These remarkable efforts by the entire College "family" have resulted in a totally restructured curriculum that will be implemented in the Fall Semester 2008. These efforts have implemented student portfolios for all pharmacy students. The extraodinary work of the College's faculty, staff and students developed and implemented a new Strategic Pan for the College. Additionally, new methods of instilling and evaluating the critical-thinking abilities of our students have been incorporated into our operations. In Janurary 2008, the ACPE lifted the probationary status and extended our accreditation through June 2010.
As we look to the future of the College, the horizons are filled with enormous potential and possibilities for success and excellence. We, within the College, are committed to our relentless pursuit of academic and research excellence.
