<\/p>\nRead the story of the UW PharmD curricular innovation. <\/p>\n
Last week\u2019s all-school faculty meeting marked an important shift into our next phase: course design and development. Faculty will begin this work at two all-day retreats later this month. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nThe School of Pharmacy faculty approved the new curricular framework in May 2017 (see Figure 1). Since then, Curricular Innovation Design Workgroups, involving faculty, curricular staff and many alumni and practitioners, have been meeting to add detail to the curricular framework.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nUWSOP Curricular Guidance Team member Dr. Katie Headrick Taylor, from the UW College of Education, led the guidance team in several exercises and facilitated discussions on how people learn best.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
After a series of roundtable discussions within our three Departments, and following the May 25, 2017 All-School Faculty and Staff meeting, we are pleased to announce that the faculty of the UW School of Pharmacy have approved a framework for the new curriculum! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nIn mid-April, Peggy Odegard shared the Curricular Innovation Framework Proposal with the School of Pharmacy Executive Committee, for distribution by the Department Chairs to the faculty. For the rest of April and into May, faculty in all three departments\u2014Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmaceutics and Pharmacy\u2014reviewed the proposed innovation, asked questions, and offered feedback on the curricular model.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nMembers of the CI team, led by Jennifer Danielson, met for a \u201cmeeting of the minds\u201d in with several of our stakeholders in practice, including local preceptors who work with our students (and who are future employers of our graduates). <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nIn early April, the goal of our meeting was to further define a set of recommendations for the core curriculum, including outlining recommendations for guidance in implementation of any changes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nWho is the pharmacist we are graduating? This question led to the development of the Husky Pharmacist document, which includes a list of attributes a pharmacist provider needs to have. The word \u201cprovider\u201d is a key feature in the development of our new curriculum, and as a School, we wanted to ground ourselves in a common language around this important term.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nFrom February to mid-March, the Curricular Innovation team took stock across teams to better integrate coursework and experiential education. This included meeting with student representatives and with Chairs across the three departments of Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmaceutics, and Pharmacy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nThe Curricular Innovation Guidance Team met with School faculty, several PY4 students, guest pharmacists, and staff at an All-School Faculty Retreat for discussion of a proposed curricular model framework.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
The Curricular Innovation Guidance Team is currently synthesizing faculty input and planning another faculty retreat for January 31, 2017, where the faculty, along with guest practitioners, will review a draft framework of the curricular approach, based on the input and priorities identified at the previous retreat and through student input.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nThe Curricular Innovation Faculty Retreat on November 1st was a success thanks to the majority of UWSOP faculty being in attendance. Faculty heard an overview of the work done by the Curricular Innovation Guidance Team since forming, considered our recommendations for moving forward, and provided their feedback and ideas on our work and next steps. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nWhen it comes to in-depth knowledge of the UWSOP curriculum, our faculty are the experts. The success of our new curricular framework and model depends on the full involvement and guidance from our talented and knowledgeable faculty members.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nModeling a new curriculum using our draft decision rules and criteria will help us identify problems in the process or framework before diving in and building a full scale version.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nKayaks frequently skim through our region\u2019s waters, including the Lake Washington Ship Canal that runs through the UWSOP\u2019s backyard. Kayaks were first built about 4,000 years ago for subarctic sea hunting and transport by the indigenous Inuit, Yup\u2019ik and Aleut cultures, using wooden or whalebone frameworks covered with stretched animal skins (Wikipedia, 2016).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
