Abstract:

Intent: Explain current and future barriers and potential solutions to the supply of and demand for willing and qualified advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) sites and preceptors in Alabama, Georgia, and neighboring states sharing experiential resources. Process: We describe current and projected APPE needs for Alabama and Georgia Colleges of Pharmacy. Data on APPE needs and availability will be gathered from established and emerging schools in the region. Data will be evaluated relative to current pharmacy school enrollment and relative to projections of future enrollment increases driven by growth of current schools and arrival of new schools. We will also evaluate the potential impact of newly proposed ACPE standards for experiential learning. We will report our experience using a cooperative approach to address barriers. Outcomes: Current rotation needs are 4133 and current rotation resources are 5951 (difference = 1818). Future needs are estimated to be an additional 4590 rotations (difference = -2772) within the next 4 years. We will further analyze data relative to rotation type, individual schools, impact on specific rotation sites, and consequences of new ACPE standards. Implications: Pharmacy schools must produce more graduates to address the profession’s manpower shortage. However, the need for quality experiential education placed on the healthcare community represents a significant barrier and rate-limiting step in the matriculation of increased numbers of pharmacists. Approaches employed by our consortium include standardizing evaluations, rotation dates, objectives, preceptor development and application process; utilizing and sharing regional resources, preceptors, sites, faculty, and educational software.
