Welcome


Welcome from Charles ParkCPERC Conference Chair, 2016 Planning Committee

Hello everyone and welcome to the beautiful west coast! We are pleased to host our colleagues from across the country and hold the 7th Annual CPERC Conference and 73rd Annual General Meeting for AFPC.

We are holding this conference in conjunction with the Canadian Society for Pharmaceutical Sciences Annual symposium. This will allow us to showcase our work to a greater audience and gives us an opportunity to network with a larger group of our colleagues.

This year we are focusing on the changing landscape of both pharmacy practice and education. We will open the conference with a talk from Dr. Peter Zed, who is the Dean of Practice Innovation here at UBC. We will have plenary sessions focusing on Experiential Education, Program Assessment and Evaluation, and Pharmacy Informatics. We also have roundtable sessions, mini-sessions as well as a joint-session discussing the integration of the pharmaceutical sciences into PharmD curriculum. Dr. Scott Singleton from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill is the invited speaker for this session.

We are very excited for this year’s Awards Banquet, which will be aboard the beautiful MV Queen of Diamonds. This will be a 3-hour cruise around beautiful False Creek and Stanley Park. You will be able to view our beautiful city from the water and witness a stunning sunset from the boat.

This year’s conference was planned by a local committee along with the help of Dr. Jamie Kellar (U of T, Chair of Education Committee). The committee members include Dr. Fong Chan, Ms. Lynda Eccott, Dr. Mark Harrison, Dr. Angie Kim-Sing, Ms. Tessa Nicholl, Dr. George Pachev, Dr. Marion Pearson, and Mr. Tony Seet. Also, a HUGE thank you to Jimi Galvao, Ivan Yastrebov and Julia Kreger from the UBC PharmSci Marketing team for helping assemble all the wonderful programs and signage for the conference. We had an amazing number of submissions for both the presentations as well as abstracts and we hope that you enjoy the conference as much as we did putting this together.

On behalf of the entire planning committee, I want to welcome you to our beautiful city and I hope you learn lots and enjoy your time at the conference.

Sincerely,

Charles Park, B. Sc. Pharm, PharmD

Welcome


Welcome from Michael CoughtrieDean, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of British Columbia (UBC)President, Association of Faculties of Pharmacy of Canada (AFPC)

As Dean of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of British Columbia and President of AFPC, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to the 73rd AFPC Annual General Meeting and 7th Annual Canadian Pharmacy Education & Research Conference (CPERC). I look forward to exploring this year’s theme — Building the future of pharmacy: We are the agents of change — in the engaging sessions we have planned, and to celebrating the excellent work that we all do in advancing pharmacy education, research and practice.

If there is a single word that can best summarize the current state of affairs with respect to the profession, it is “change.” The scope of what a pharmacist can do continues to evolve, and requires the ability to function in an increasingly complex environment involving issues such as personalized medicine, interdisciplinary health care and physician assisted death. Our respective pharmacy curricula, in turn, have also evolved in order to educate the pharmacists of the future to not only take advantage of this expanded scope of practice but also to be the leaders that the profession needs. Many pharmacy schools in Canada have already moved to offering entry-to-practice Doctor of Pharmacy programs, with others presently in the process of developing them — this provides a fantastic opportunity for innovative research and scholarship. With respect to research, wholly inadequate resources and poor oversight of some funding agencies continue to present a serious challenge. However, the need for new discoveries and their translation into clinical practice is as urgent as it has ever been. For these and so many other reasons, now is definitely the time to build our future — to be agents of change.

I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank our esteemed session speakers and facilitators, the members of the Conference Organizing Committee and our generous sponsors. Without their commitment and enthusiasm, we would not be able to host such events and share our collective knowledge.

May you all enjoy the conference and, for those of you visiting Vancouver, our beautiful city.

Sincerely,

Michael Coughtrie, PhD

1530 - 1700 Concurrent Sessions Session A: Building the Future: From Theory to Practice

1. Novel models of Precepting in the Institutional Setting: The Alberta Experience Ann Thompson, University of Alberta Three novel models of precepting (peer-assisted learning, near peer teaching and

co-precepting) are being used to varying degrees in institutional practice in Alberta. The survey results provide guidance to the faculty and its practice partners for the promotion, adoption, implementation and support of novel models to advance the practice of precepting and increase placement capacity.

2. Integrating Co-Operative Education and Regional Patient Care Rotations: A Novel Approach to Experiential Learning

Andrew Tolmie, University of Waterloo In meeting standards for quality improvement processes for student practice

experiences, educators are tasked with developing progressive experiential models in a fiscally challenging and increasingly competitive environment. This presentation explores a novel approach to experiential education, designed to develop strong patient care skills, while meeting and exceeding the expectations of pharmacy partners and external stakeholders.

3. Going Beyond an Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience Rotation: Focus on Non-Direct Patient Care Contributions by Student

Doret Cheng, Annie Lee, Cindy Natsheh, Certina Ho, University of Toronto The goals of this presentation are to demonstrate students’ contribution in non-direct

patient care (NDPC) Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE) rotations at the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Toronto, and highlight the value-added perspectives of their work that can go beyond their rotations. We hope our insights and illustrations of successful NDPC student rotation examples may encourage others to expand their scope of experiential education.

4. Why would you want to open a clinic within your pharmacy school? Derek Jorgenson, University of Saskatchewan; Debbie Kelly, Memorial University of

Newfoundland; Barbara Gobis, University of British Columbia Three faculty affiliated, pharmacist-led, patient care clinics have recently launched

within Canadian pharmacy schools. The presenters of this session will describe the purpose of these clinics, the clinical and non-clinical activities that occur within the clinics, and how pharmacy students are involved.

Session B: Building the Future: Working with Others

1. Proposed Response of Canadian Faculties of Pharmacy to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action

Jaris Swidrovich, University of Saskatchewan This session will propose a set of Aboriginal Learning Outcomes developed at the

University of Saskatchewan’s College of Pharmacy and Nutrition, using Bloom’s Taxonomy, to be delivered in pharmacy degree programs across Canada that address the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada’s Calls to Action. While faculties of pharmacy across Canada may explore a number of avenues in their responses to the Calls to Action, this session focuses on actions at the curricular level. Each proposed learning outcome will be justified for inclusion into Canadian pharmacy curricula, including their connections to the overall landscape of inequities in the health of Indigenous Canadians.

2. Using Reflexive Photography to Assess Cultural Competency Learning in Aboriginal Health

Jason Min, Larry Leung, University of British Columbia A reflexive photography activity can be an effective way of providing reflective

learning in cultural awareness specific to Aboriginal Health. The presenters will share the implementation of this activity in an Aboriginal Health elective as a pedagogical approach to better teach and assess cultural awareness. Examples of pre and post-course photos and comments by students will be shared and examined to illustrate how this activity captured student learning.

3. Preparing Pharmacy Students for Practice – Interprofessional Reciprocal Peer Teaching Cheryl A. Sadowski, University of Alberta This session will emphasize the steps to implementing a peer teaching exercise for

students from different professions. The importance of including peer teaching as an interprofessional activity will be highlighted.

4. Interprofessional Medication Reconciliation: An Innovative Team-Based Process to Engage Learners

Arun Verma, University of British Columbia This innovative interprofessional program has been designed to prepare senior health

care students and recently graduated pharmacists to work collaboratively to enhance patient safety through a simulated hospital discharge medication reconciliation process. This presentation will describe the process, approach, and feedback received for this novel event.

The next steps for the project will be discussed including the introduction of Version 2 of the e-Resource.

1300 - 1400 Concurrent Sessions Session A: Building the Future: Innovations to Scholarship of Teaching and Learning – Closing the Loop

1. Innovations in Pharmacy Education in Undergraduate PharmD Program at Laval University: Focus on Simulation-Based Learning and Portfolio Oral Presentations

Julie Méthot, Jean Lefebvre, Laval University In 2011, Laval University replaced its Bachelor of Pharmacy program with an

undergraduate Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) program. The assessment of competencies through oral portfolio presentation for the first graduate cohort will be discussed. Simulation-based learning, an innovation in pharmacy education, will also be presented.

2. Academic Success and Student Well-Being: A Look Through the Motivation Lens Gilles Leclerc, University of Montreal Academic program reforms leads most of the time to structural changes and

educational innovations. But rarely the impact of such changes and innovations on students’ behaviours, motivational beliefs and well being is taken into account. A Student Well Being Framework is proposed as a guide for upcoming program evaluations and curricular reforms in Pharmacy.

3. Completing the Cycle: Dissemination of Educational Research as Threshold Concept in Pharmaceutical Sciences

Simon Albon, Andrea Webb, University of British Columbia This oral presentation will share the results of a recent UBC study examining faculty

experiences of being/becoming pharmacy education scholars and impediments to their growth. Meyer and Land’s Threshold Concepts (TC) framework was used to inquire into the ways pharmacy educators think about educational scholarship and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) where TCs are concepts that both transform understandings of a scholarly field and impede growth of scholars in the area. Using phenomenological inquiry, an interpretive, empirical study was designed yielding

two primary results: 1) existence of “two solitudes” amongst pharmacy educators, and; 2) identification of one critical TC. The knowledge gained from this study as well as its implications for faculty development will be explored.

Session B: Building the Future: Teaching the Next Generation

1. Simulated Electronic Patient Records for Teaching Pharmacotherapy Work-Up: A Skills-Based Laboratory Activity

Grace Frankel, University of Manitoba This session explores a teaching approach to engage pharmacy students in patient

“work-up” skills by using a mock electronic patient record in a pharmacy skills laboratory course. Advantages and disadvantages of this teaching strategy will be highlighted.

2. Antimicrobial Stewardship: Creating the Next Generation of Stewards as Agents of Change

Miranda So, University of Toronto This session presents the instructional design and innovative methods of assessment of a

new ASP course created to prepare the next generation of pharmacists for opportunities in antimicrobial stewardship programs. Skills and knowledge gained from the course are transferable to other aspects of pharmacy practice.

3. Faculty and Student Collaborative Efforts to Enhance the Experience of First Year Entry-to-Practice PharmD Students

Patricia Gerber, Stephanie Garland, Brooke Caruth, Renée Dagenais, University of British Columbia

In this collaborative session co-led by both faculty and students, presenters will describe their experience developing and implementing a Student Mentorship Program comprised of two concurrent initiatives designed to enhance the first year entry-to-practice PharmD student experience: a Faculty-Student Engagement Program and a Peer Mentorship Program. Program details, evaluation, and future plans will be discussed. Suggestions for how other faculties of pharmacy might implement similar programs will be outlined.

Abstract: The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy is transforming its doctor of pharmacy program in response to changing societal and workforce needs as well as increasing global demand for non-cognitive, meta-cognitive and learning-related cognitive skills development in pharmacy education. The linear curriculum based on classroom lecture is relatively ineffective and long outdated in a digital world where content is readily accessible. To cultivate the necessary behaviors, skills, attitudes and habits of mind, students must learn by doing through direct patient care and service learning, leadership opportunities, and hypothesis-driven research or quality improvement-driven inquiry. Our school’s new curriculum launched in August, 2015. The new 4-year PharmD program emphasizes experiential learning throughout: students spend 6 months in pharmacy practice experiences prior to the 4th year, which is fully experiential. The didactic elements of the curriculum were completely redesigned to emphasize learning outcomes that complement patient care experience through active learning and pedagogies of engagement. A third key element of the new curriculum focuses on advanced inquiry, including innovation, complex problem-solving, and scholarship. We will describe our systems approach to curriculum transformation at the school, highlight the proposed new curriculum and share early examples and lessons learned.

1600 - 1700 Closing Session - Curriculum Design and Innovation: Putting it Together Speaker: Dr. Sandra Jarvis-Selinger, Associate Professor and Associate Dean, Academic, University of British Columbia Biography: Dr. Jarvis-Selinger is the Associate Dean, Academic in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical

d. 2016 AFPC Operating Budget – Review and approval

A copy of the 2016 AFPC operating budget preliminary forecast was circulated in advance. The budget was reviewed with individual members of the Executive committee (M. Coughtrie, A. Thompson, J. Lefebvre). H. Lopatka highlighted the following points in relation to the 2016 operating budget forecast:

Five key activities and initiatives were identified for 2016 (complete PEPLN, complete Can Ex Ed project, continue support for program evaluation, review 2010 educational outcomes, and plan 2016 joint conference).

A healthy reserve of $280,624 exists as of October 5, 2015. Approximately $30K of this reserve will be used to fund the completion of the Can Ex Ed project in 2016.

The 2016 operating budget forecast is $268,731 income and $237,950 expense with a preliminary surplus of $27,987.

A recommendation to extend funding for the Can Ex Ed project until March 31, 2016. The additional expense of $16,335 will be funded within the 2016 operating expense budget.

Motion: Approval of the 2016 AFPC operating budget per the circulated document entitled “2016 AFPC operating budget preliminary forecast” dated November 26, 2015 (includes recommendation to extend Can Ex Ed project for 3 months). Moved by J. Lefebvre, seconded by A. Thompson, motion passed.

5. New business a. AFPC Advocacy Plan

A copy of the first draft of the AFPC advocacy plan was distributed in advance. The three advocacy priorities were as follows: i) ensuring pharmacist workforce balance through monitoring and assessing the supply and influx of foreign trained pharmacists, ii) increasing dedicated pharmacy research spending, and iii) financial support for graduating pharmacists through the expansion of the student loan forgiveness program for health professionals serving in rural and remote areas. It was noted that external liaison will be required with AFMC, CASN and NAPRA on priorities i) and ii). With regard to priority ii), M. Coughtrie made a presentation at UBC suggesting that a minimum 20% success rate would be required to support a whole science research base. H. Lopatka will work with J. Walker (CPhA government relations staff member) to refine the draft plan. Subsequent versions of the plan will be reviewed with the Council of Deans and Board of Directors.

b. Executive Director Performance Appraisal (In Camera) This item was moved to the Executive committee for discussion after the full Board of Directors meeting.

6. Executive Director Report The October 2015 Executive Director update was circulated in advance. Please contact H. Lopatka for questions about the report.

7. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 1330 hours EST.

Severini, D. Edwards, T. Jurgens, C. Marra, G. Leclerc, H. Lopatka (recorder)

1. CALL TO ORDER

M. Coughtrie called the meeting to order at 1205 hours.

2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA

Agenda item 5b – AFPC Strategic planning was added. The agenda was approved with the addition of

item 5b. Moved by A. Thompson, seconded by J. Lefebvre, passed.

3. APPROVAL OF NOVEMBER 26, 2015 BOARD MEETING MINUTES

The minutes from the November 26, 2015 Board meeting were approved as circulated. Moved by S.

Alessi-Severini, seconded by D. Edwards, passed.

4. BUSINESS ARISING

a. 2015 AFPC income / expense reports / statements – review and approval for

transmittal to auditor

A copy of the report “The Association of Faculties of Pharmacy of Canada - Analysis of 2015 Income /

Expenses” dated February 9, 2016 was circulated in advance. The report was also reviewed with J.

Lefebvre (Treasurer) in advance.

The following items were highlighted:

Comparative analysis of 2015 income and expense actuals to budget – The 2015 year end revenue /

expense statement in appendix 2 was reviewed. 2015 income was $340,755 and 2015 expenses were

$411,484. It was noted that the difference was due to the fact that the $60,000 AFPC contribution from

reserves to fund the Canadian Experiential Education project was not shown as income, and because the

actual 2015 income and expenses for the PEPLN project do not consider funds carried over from 2014 in

the statement (expenses were $25,679 greater than income). 2015 actual income was $13,274 more

than the 2015 budget. 2015 expenses were $13,808 more than the 2015 budget. The 2015 actual to

budget income variation is primarily explained by the unanticipated flow of $15,000 to AFPC for the

Merck Canada fellowship. The 2015 actual to budget expense variation is primarily explained by the

higher meeting expenses (low exchange rate – joint US annual conference), reduced sponsorship for Rx

and D award, and higher expenditures for Canadian Experiential Education project.

Comparative analysis of preliminary 2015 profit and loss statements – QuickBooks summary reports

were briefly reviewed. These were the reports in appendix 3 (profit and loss by class – January to

December 2015) and appendix 4 (profit and loss previous year comparison – January through December

2015). The appendix 3 report (profit and loss by class – January to December 2015) shows actual income

and expenses divided by classes and was used to derive the summary report in appendix 2. The


63

appendix 4 (profit and loss previous year comparison – January through December 2015) compares 2015

actual income and expenses to the 2014 actual income and expenses. The report is for information.

Detailed QuickBooks files and reports will be sent to the auditor.

The amount in reserves (as of February 8, 2016) was $261,712.60 (in GICs).

Motion: Approval of the AFPC – Analysis of 2015 income / expense report for transmittal to the auditor

for preparation of audited financial statements. Moved by J. Lefebvre, seconded by A. Thompson,

motion passed.

b. Plans for 2016 annual conference

A preliminary schedule of the AFPC business meetings and educational sessions was included in the

Executive Director report. Concerns were expressed through the Council of Deans about the timing of

the 2016 conference and the conflict with university convocation ceremonies. Toronto, Saskatchewan

and British Columba convocations are in conflict. In 2017, AFPC will be partnering with CPhA and the

joint conference is planned for June 1-5, 2017 in Quebec. When possible, future AFPC conferences will

be scheduled outside the first 2 weeks of June.

c. CPhA Board member

The request letter from CPhA and Board member profile was circulated in advance. Both the Council of

Deans and the Council of Faculties voting members were supportive of nominating Susan Mansour for

another term as the AFPC representative to the CPhA Board of Directors. H. Lopatka will advise CPhA.

Motion: Susan Mansour to be nominated as the AFPC representative to the CPhA Board of Directors for

another term (2016-19). Moved by M. Coughtrie, seconded by T. Jurgens, passed.

5. NEW BUSINESS

a. Plans for 2016 business meetings

The next Board of Directors meeting is planned for May 31, 2016 (at the 2016 CPERC in Richmond, BC).

For Board members who are unable to attend, a teleconference line will be arranged. In addition, the

Annual Meeting of AFPC voting members will be held on May 31. The last 2016 AFPC Board of Directors

meeting will be scheduled for November or December 2016. The Council of Deans is planning to meet in

Calgary at the Canadian Pharmacists Conference (June 25-27, 2016).

b. AFPC Strategic planning

The 2014-16 AFPC strategic plan was circulated in advance and it was noted that the plan requires

review. The strategic plan content and format of similar organizations was reviewed in determining the

current AFPC strategic plan format and content (i.e., CASN, AFMC and AACP). Councillors will be

requested to review the current strategic plan and identify possible areas for revision. A time slot will be

set aside for the May 31, 2016 meeting to discuss the current plan and possible revisions for the next

iteration of the plan. There was agreement that a session facilitator would not be required. A copy of a

Canadian Society of Association Executives (CSAE) guidance document about strategic plan terms will be

circulated. H. Lopatka will add sub goals or actions under each of the strategic plan goals and will be

preparing a succession plan.

6. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT

The Executive Director update was circulated in advance. Please contact Harold to clarify any points in

the report.

66

3

The 2017-19 strategic plan objectives were reviewed by the Council of Faculties at their May 31, 2016 meeting. A few minor edits were suggested. The following summarizes Board discussions relating to the objectives (summarized by each goal):

1. Inspire faculties and members to develop innovative pharmacy education strategies and scholarship.

Consider alternate goal wording such as “collaborative, collective”. 2. Develop and share national frameworks to facilitate the best practices in

education delivery and evaluation. Consider alternate objective 2 wording such as “inform”.

3. Establish and maintain effective collaborations with external partners. No revisions identified.

4. Advocate for adequate strategic and fiscal support for pharmacy education and scholarship.

Consider alternate goal wording – “sufficient” vs. “adequate”. Add “research” to goal. 5. Ensure necessary financial resources and infrastructure to achieve mission.

No revisions identified.

The 2017-19 strategic plan will also be reviewed by the Council of Deans at their June 25, 2016 meeting. Revisions from the reviews will be consolidated by H. Lopatka and another version of the plan disseminated to both Councils prior to final review by the Board (at the next meeting in November).

The timing for the conference and the business meetings will be reviewed by the Council of Deans. The final date for the Board of Directors Annual meeting may change depending on the plans for the 2017 CPERC. Also, depending on the recruitment for the new Executive Director, an additional meeting may be required.

Awards Committee Report May 31, 2016

Committee Members: Marion Pearson (Chair, UBC), Frédéric Calon (Laval), Andrea Cameron (UoT), Carla Dillon (MUN), Praveen Nekkar (Waterloo), Harold Lopatka (AFPC Executive Director) In this year’s awards cycle, 27 nominations were received for the 8 available competitive awards. This is up considerably from last year, when 14 nominations were received for 6 awards, and 2 awards were not presented due to lack of nominations. No nominations were received this year from the University of Manitoba or Memorial University. New this year, AFPC was invited to nominate a candidate for the CPhA Pharmacist of the Year award. This award should be added to the 2016/17 version of the Awards Booklet. Also new this year, a standardized application form was provided in the Awards Booklet, which proved useful. Details of the nominations and recipients of the awards are indicated in Appendix A. Many thanks to the 26 reviewers from across the country, including several first-time reviewers, who assisted with the selection process (see Appendix B).

Awards that remain to be determined are the graduate and undergraduate winners of the AFPC Whit Matthews Graduate Student Poster Award, judging for which will occur at the AFPC/CPERC conference. These will be selected from among the recipients of the AFPC-Rx & D Pharmacy Student Research Poster Award winners from each of the schools. All awards will be presented at the AFPC awards banquet on June 1. At the mid-year Council of Faculties meeting, there was preliminary discussion of liaising with CSPS regarding the research mandate of AFPC, which might have implications for the research awards. A committee meeting was held by teleconference on May 16, 2016 to review results of the 2016 awards cycle and discuss possible revisions to the awards program. Items discussed included: a) Review of the student awards: Aims of the student awards include promoting the

pursuit of graduate studies by pharmacy undergraduates and the pursuit of academic careers by pharmacy graduate students; however, the only award that is explicitly aligned with these purposes is the Merck Graduate Pharmacy Fellowship. The student awards are not currently positioned to promote pharmacy education research, so are increasingly out of step with the focus of AFPC. Further, we are no longer receiving sponsorship for the AFPC-Rx&D Student Research Poster Award or the AFPC Graduate Student Research Award and have no immediate prospects for regaining this funding, resulting in a cost to AFPC of ~$15,000 per year. Consensus among the committee members was that AFPC should consider phasing out these


70

mailto:[email protected]

awards, perhaps through transitioning them to CSPS, or repositioning them so their focus would be on educational research. Students would still be welcome to participate in the conference and compete for the Whit Matthews awards. Also, other mechanisms for promoting academic careers could be explored, such as mentorship of student attendees of the AFPC/CPERC conference and webinars.

b) Process for poster awards: The committee advises that competitors for poster awards be required to submit a pdf of their poster by a specified deadline prior to the conference to streamline the selection process.

c) Deadline for the second round of awards: The awards are split been those with a January 15th deadline and those with a March 15th deadline. Winners in the second round are supposed to be notified as early as April 1 so they can plan their travel to the conference. The timing of the second round of nominations was established in part to allow time for selection of the Student Research Poster Award recipients at Faculty research events. However, it does not provide sufficient time for the award adjudication process. There was consensus that the awards should continue to be managed in two rounds; however, the committee recommends that the deadline for the second round be moved to March 1st.

d) CPhA awards: The nomination process for other CPhA awards may be revised in a

similar manner to the Pharmacist of the Year award, where nominations will flow through member organizations.

e) Membership on the 2016/17 awards committee: All committee members are willing

to continue serving if requested to do so by the next chair of the committee. Laleh Alisaraie from Memorial has expressed an interest in joining the committee, so Carla Dillon has offered to step aside.

Thank you to all the committee members and to Doreen Sproule for their assistance with the work of the committee.

Respectfully submitted,

Marion Pearson, Chair

AFPC Education Committee Report AFPC Council of Faculties Voting Member Annual Meeting

Tuesday, May 31, 2016 Members: Laverne Vercaigne, Peter Loewen, Heidi Deal, Robert Renaud, Patricia Gerber, Ingrid Price, Harold Lopatka, Jamie Kellar (Chair) Summary of business:

1. Meetings April 26th, 2016 – Jamie and Harold Conference Call

Confirmed process for upcoming focus groups to review AFPC outcomes – Ken Cor to lead focus groups

Focus groups to take place April 27, 28 2016 from 1-4 pm

Jamie will observe conference calls and take notes April 27th& 28th 2016

Focus groups – Ken Cor facilitated the sessions with a standard interview guide created and reviewed by Harold, Jamie and Education Committee Members

Each University was represented over the course of the two focus groups

Significant participation and discussion

Ken to produce a final report and send to Jamie by May 27th 2016

May 24, 2016

Education committee meeting to discuss high level data from the focus groups

Meeting cancelled – highlights to be shared by email and in person discussions at annual conference in Vancouver.

2. Educational Outcomes/Levels Review

Recall: Review of the outcomes and leveling document is the main focus of the education committee over the next 2 years

Goal for 2015-2016 is to gather preliminary data to determine how the faculties are using the 2010 outcomes – if they are working, if they have made in-house modifications; if folks feel the outcomes needed minor or major changes etc. – focus groups to gather data.

Focus groups completed – April 27, 28 2016

Overall significant conversation – all schools use the outcomes to varying degrees and find them useful – broad variation in how being used


78

Overall the consensus was that “major” revisions were required – however in listening to the suggestions and recommendations Ken and I both agreed that the revisions to the outcomes document is actually minor and what would be useful are documents to guide usage for assessments and course design purposes –supporting documents.

The leveling document is not used by most and many folks were not aware it existed – so room for discussion as to how to proceed with this.

Ken’s full report expected by May 27th 2016

3. 2016 Annual Conference

May 31-June 2, 2016 – Vancouver, BC

Jamie liaised with Charles Park and Harold Lopatka to provide input as needed – reviewed abstracts, programing etc.

PEP Canada (PEP-C) Year End Report to AFPC (May 2016) Submitted by: Kelly Drummond, College of Pharmacy, University of Manitoba

[PEP-C Executive Kelly Drummond (chair), TBC after PEP-C meetings this week see notes below (incoming chair), Harriet Davies Dalhousie University (past chair)]

Activities completed or in progress between February and June 2016

Canadian Experiential Education Project Completion & Perpetuation: Project manager Dr.

Katrina Mulherin completed her term with the project at the end of March 2016, and has agreed to

continue with disseminating the findings and results from the project in the form of a panel

presentation that was held at CSHP’s PPC in Toronto February 2016, a panel presentation at CPERC

(more below), a presentation at the CPhA conference in June 2016, and a webinar in September

2016. She is also co-authoring a series of articles with Dr. Craig Cox (Texas Tech) in the Currents in

Pharmacy Teaching and Learning Journal. One of her last tasks was developing a perpetuation plan

to describe the continuation of the work of this large-scale project. To that end, Dr. Mulherin

condensed the 7 original priorities into 4 working groups. Priorities 1 and 2 will remain distinct,

but were renamed “Making the Grade” and “Teaching and Learning Models” respectively. Priorities

3 and 6 are now “Partner Development” and priorities 4, 5 and 7 are now “Recruitment and

Retention”. It was suggested that PEP-C take on the leadership and management of these 4 working

groups. It was also recommended that the 4 working groups should be populated with external

stakeholders from the organizations that participated in the Can Ex Ed steering committee. We

currently have commitment from 2 PEP-C members to continue to lead the first 2 groups (Kelly

Drummond for “Making the Grade” and Ann Thompson for “Teaching and Learning Models. PEP-C

will have further discussion regarding the finalization of the perpetuation plan at our meeting

during CPERC May 30 & 31, 2016.

Cross Canada update with emphasis on ELPD planning/implementation, bridging/flex

PharmD programs, ExEd staffing: A major focus of all of our meetings is sharing and

collaboration especially with the first professional practice PharmD degree development across the

country. In order to aid in sharing and collaboration a survey on real-time staffing and program

planning and development has been created and sent to PEP-C members. The survey results are

being collated, and will be reported to PEP-C members for analysis and discussion.

Global pharmacy rotation opportunities: PEP-C and AFPC have been approached to develop

student exchanges with pharmacy programs in Brazil, Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico. Given the

timing with PharmD program development interest may not be high but interested PEP-C members

intend to form a small sub-group to discuss common concerns such as insurance, border and

liability issues.

AACP Task Force on Establishing Competencies for Core APPE’s: Andrea Cameron (UofT)

continues to represent PEP-C on this task force. She had sent the first draft of the core

competencies to PEP-C for feedback.

81

PEP-C Meetings May 30 & 31, 2016 at CPERC: A major focus of these meetings with be discussion

of PEP-C’s role in the perpetuation of the CanExEd project, confirming a replacement incoming

Chair and electing a new Vice-Chair, and planning for other committee work for 2016-2017.

ExEd Education Session at CPERC (Vancouver June 1, 2016): PEP-C members agreed that

showcasing the CanExEd project was the most appropriate topic for a 1.5 hr education session

allotted to our group. The presentation developed is panel style with interactive polling questions

to encourage audience engagement and discussion. A brief overview of the project will be

presented by Katrina Mulherin (project manager) and the 4 panelists will also include 3 PEP-C

members who were involved in writing some of the priority reports (Jan Coates, Kelly Drummond

and Ann Thompson). Panel members will present the findings and prototypes developed from each

priority and the perpetuation plans

PEP-C Executive 2016-2017: Kelly Drummond (UofMB) will transition to past chair. Mike Legal

(incoming chair (UBC) has left UBC and we are fortunate to have 2 new PEP-C members nominated

into the roles of Chair (Certina Ho UofT) and incoming Vice-Chair (Andrew Tolmie UW) pending

their election at our PEP-C meetings at CPERC May 30 & 31, 2016.

Challenges & Plan for the Upcoming Year: There is much change happening within pharmacy

education programs preparing for or initiating new first professional PharmD degrees that contain

significantly expanded experiential education program components. PEP-C is challenged to ensure

we have the appropriate engagement of members to support the ongoing work of the Can ExEd

Project. It is anticipated that following our meetings in Vancouver members will be able to identify

the possible synergies with their current commitments and be better able to see how they can

leverage the work that must be done to continue to support this important national pharmacy

education project. The final 2 working group priorities are quite large and the tasks within each are

substantial so it is expected that multiple PEP-C members will be needed to lead these priorities. A

plan will be finalized during our meetings on May 30 & 31 to address these challenges and continue

work on these important priorities to advance quality and excellence for pharmacy experiential

education in Canada.

PEP Canada would like to thank the Blueprint for Canada, CSHP, CPhA and AFPC for their support of

this important project.

AFPC Research Committee Report May 31, 2016 Committee Members: Silvia Alessi-Severini (Chair), Frederic Calon, Tannis Jurgens, Marion Pearson, Gilles Leclerc.

Sixty-two abstracts have been accepted for presentation at the 2016 CPERC in Richmond (BC) (joint conference with CSPS) (May 31-June 2, 2016). Fourteen posters are from students (4 undergraduate and 10 graduate) and 48 from faculty. The majority of posters belong to the education category (68%), 16% are in the basic/clinical research category, 11% in pharmacy practice and 5% in the social/administrative category. Please refer to the Appendix for details regarding previous years.

This year we have 10 student posters competing for the National AFPC best poster award + 4 additional student posters competing for the AFPC Whit Matthews award.

Judges have been recruited:

Silvia Alessi-Severini (Manitoba), Cynthia Richard (Waterloo), Ted Lakowski (Manitoba), Ed Krol (Sask), Gilles Leclerc (Montreal), Jamie Kellar (Toronto), Renette Bertholet (Alberta), Wayne Hindmarsh (Toronto), Jean Lefebvre (Laval), Mark Fleming (Janssen), Micheline Piquette-Miller (Toronto), I fan Kuo (Manitoba), Dana Turcotte (Manitoba).

Licenses to access the IMS Brogan databases that are currently provided to CPhA (Cdn Rx Lite, PRA and PharmaFocus). AFPC has been asked regarding interest in receiving 2-3 licenses per school at renewal of services. The Chair of the AFPC Research Committee attended a web training session last year with Gustavo Scuderi Vieira, Business Consultant, Health Industry Information Services with IMS Brogan, to explore the research capabilities of the Cdn Rx Lite database. While the database does not provide opportunities for sophisticated pharmacoepidemiologic studies (it is a point of sale source with only aggregate data on prescription fills) it can provide useful and timely information for pan-Canadian drug utilization studies. The main question, common to other AFPC members who do research in this discipline was regarding the permission to use data for publications (as it seems that CPhA members can have access with the caveat of not being able to publish the results of their searches). Discussions on this issue was in a way reassuring that permission would be obtainable by AFPC users upon request, but it would be project specific. No further discussions took place after the initial contact. It would be important for Councilors to scope their colleagues’ interest in using IMSB offerings.

After last year’s membership survey, no additional input has been received regarding suggestions for the Research Committee on how to assist AFPC members in research activities. It will be useful to have councilors conduct a targeted follow-up at each faculty level.

Respectfully submitted by Silvia Alessi-Severini, May 29, 2016 83

Appendix to the Research Report (May 31, 2016)

Total number of posters ranged from 39 to 62.

Though seminars were very motivating and enlightfull for attendees, participation was limited mainly to representatives from BC, Alberta, Memorial and Montreal. Multiple AFPC SIGs has a common membership. This situation is conflictual for planning SIG meetings and managing SIG activities. Assessment SIG members are presently reflection on identifying key strategies to overcome this issue and to pursue its scholarly activities with stronger participation. Common key issues between Program Evaluation and Assessment SIGs were to be adressed at the Richmond business meeting on June 2nd. Terms of reference, membership, web site management and development, and Pharmacy Education Research Collaboration are some of those key issues.

Informatics SIG Report

May 25, 2016

The Informatics SIG group was established in January 2016. The goal of the SIG is to serve as a resource for pharmacy faculties and faculty members for facilitating inclusion of health informatics in pharmacy curricula.

To date, two meetings were held via teleconference: January 27 and April 27, 2016. Some items that were discussed:

- An update from the Pharmacy Educator Peer Leader Network (PEPLN), including how informatics and the e-Resource are incorporated into the curriculum across the country.

- Discussion of the SIG terms of reference. - A discussion of version 2 of the Informatics for Pharmacy Students e-Resource, which

was modified based on feedback and evaluation from PEPLN. - Identification of members for the SIG group. - Format and content for the informatics section at the CPERC conference - Proposal to Canada Health Infoway to continue the pharmacy educator network. This

project will build capacity and the ability of the pharmacy educator network to increase integration of informatics into curricula. Some components of the proposal includes: building the Peer Leader (PL) network; curriculum mapping of informatics competencies; content review and revision of the e-Resource; and French translation of select sections of the e-Resource.

The next SIG group meeting will be a face-to-face meeting at the CPERC conference on June 2nd at 7am. Anyone with an interest in informatics is welcomed to join the SIG group.

AFPC Skills Lab SIG Report – May 27, 2016

Activities and Accomplishments

The AFPC Skills Lab SIG terms of reference were approved at the AFPC Council of Faculties 2016 Mid-

Year meeting, and the group was formed after that. Initial steps involved:

• Phone meeting with Harold Lopatka to guide founding members (Theresa Charrois, Cynthia

Richard, Kim Sponagle, Heidi Deal, Natalie Kenney) on group initiation – March 10

• Contact with each pharmacy school (often via AFPC Council of Faculties representative) to

identify interested faculty and a voting member from each

• First meeting held via teleconference April 27, 2016, with a voting member from each school

identified. Cynthia Richard and Teri Charrois were identified as the Chair/Vice-Chair,

respectively, for a one-year term ending at the AFPC annual meeting in 2017.

A list of faculty members interested in the SIG has been created (see next page). Initial email

correspondence has involved discussion around use of software in Skills Labs.

Teri and Cynthia participated in a phone meeting with the Chair/Vice Chair of the AACP Laboratory

Instructors SIG May 24 to discuss their structure and initiatives.

Plans for upcoming year

An informal “meet and greet” breakfast meeting will take place at CPERC 2016 Wednesday June 1. The

group hopes to:

1. Create and administer a benchmarking survey on issues such as staffing, budget, lab

organization, calculations, use of standardized patients, etc. in Skills Labs. A Task Force will be

created to move this forward.

2. Hold regular Webinars, starting with each school describing their Skills Lab series and

highlighting innovative topics/best practices

3. Provide a forum for discussion among peers involved in Skills Lab instruction

4. Explore opportunities for sharing resources (ex. Cases, rubrics)

Pharmacy Technician Evaluating

Examination in 2015 at centres in

British Columbia, Alberta,

Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario,

New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and

Newfoundland, compared to 692 in

Committee on Examinations The Committee continued to discuss

measures to enhance examination

security at examination centres

including continuation of a pilot

security screening study 2016. The

Committee also began discussions on

future sites and frequency of

administration of the Pharmacy

Technician Qualifying Examination

post provincial deadlines and the future

of the Pharmacy Technician Evaluating

Examination. Work continues on

developing new questions and stations

to address new areas in the Pharmacist

and Pharmacy Technician Qualifying

Examination revised blueprints that are

based on the revised NAPRA Entry-to-

Practice Competencies. The revised

blueprints are being implemented in

2016.

The Committee reviewed preliminary

Accommodating Candidates in the OSCE At the 2015 Mid-Year Board meeting, in

view of the increasing numbers of

pharmacist candidates moving through

the certification process (both

International Pharmacy Graduates (IPGs)

and Canadian graduates), the Committee

on Examinations recommended that a

cap be placed on the number of

candidates that will be permitted to take

the Pharmacist Qualifying Examination-

Part II (OSCE). The Board of Directors

approved a cap of 3000 for 2016 and at

the February 2016 Annual Meeting, the

Board of Directors recommended that the

same cap be applied for 2017 and future

yearly offering of the Part II (OSCE).

Priority will be given to first time

Canadian and IPGs test takers. It was

reported that the number of candidates

applying for the Spring 2016 Qualifying

Examination-Part II (OSCE) was lower

than anticipated. The Board also

approved a policy that candidates who

fail the Part II (OSCE) on the first

attempt will be required to pass the Part I

(MCQ) before taking a second attempt at

Part II (OSCE). This policy will be

implemented for the Fall 2017

Qualifying Examination.

Needs Assessment of Specialization in Pharmacy Study PEBC continues to explore potential

involvement in assessments related to

specialty certification and is working with

the Specialization in Pharmacy Task

Group to help better define the definitions

of specialty practice and a model of

specialty practice. The Board of Directors

at the 2016 Mid-Year meeting will give

further consideration to conducting a

business case analysis for involvement in

specialty certification.

Feasibility Study on Computerized Testing PEBC has conducted a feasibility study on

the use of computerized testing in the

delivery of PEBC multiple choice

examinations. The PEBC Board of

Directors was supportive in principle of

moving forward with computerized testing

and further exploration of costs for

administering written examinations via

computers. This past year, further work

was conducted to explore the length of

testing needed for the Pharmacist

Qualifying Examination Part I (MCQ).

PEBC has recently issued an RFP to

computerized testing vendors to determine

testing site capacity and costs to

administer the Pharmacist Qualifying

Examination-Part I (MCQ). This RFP will

allow us to assess how many candidates

we can accommodate across Canada on a

given day.

CCAPP International Accreditation

In view of the new designation of CCAPP

International for internationally accredited

programs and the possibility of separate

accreditation standards for international

programs, the Board confirmed that

graduates of a CCAPP Internationally

accredited program would not be

permitted direct entry into the Qualifying

Examination.

Board Meetings The next Board meeting and Committee

Meetings will be held on October 20-22,

2016 (Mid-Year Meeting). The date of the

next Annual Meeting is tentatively set for

February 25, 2017, with Committee

Meetings preceding. 94

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the fmancial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe· that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements present fair ly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Association of Faculties of Pharmacy of Canada as at December 31 , 2015 , and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations.

NOTES

For the year ended December 3 I, 20 15

The Association of Faculties of Pharmacy of Canada ("Association") is a national association of faculties of pharmacy whose members are committed to the promotion and recognition of excellence in pharmacy education and scholarly activities . The Association is exempt from income tax under Section 149 ofthe Income Tax Act.

Note 1 Significant Accounting Policies

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations ("ASNPO") and include the following significant accounting policies:

Revenue Recognition

Membership fees are invoiced annually and memberships expire on December 31. Membership fees are recorded once collection is reasonably assured and are recognized as revenue during the applicable membership period. Annual conference revenues, along with related sponsorship funds, are reported in the fiscal year in which the conference is held. Amounts received in advance from members, sponsors and attendees for meetiings occurring in the following fi scal year are recorded as deferred revenue.

The Association follows the deferral method of accounting for award and grant contributions. Restricted contributions are recognized as revenue in the year in which the related expenses are incurred, until then they are reported as deferred contributions. Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue when received or receivable, if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured.

Interest income is accrued on a time prop01tion basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the interest rate applicable. Other miscellaneous income items are recorded once the amount is readily determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

Financia l Instruments

Measurement of financial instruments

The Association measures its financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value at the acquisition date, except for financial assets and financial liabilities acquired in related party transactions. Transaction costs related to the acquisition of financial instruments subsequently measured at fair value are recognized in excess of revenues over expenditures when incurred. The carrying amounts of financial instruments not subsequently measured at fair value are adjusted by the amount of the transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the instrument.

The Association subsequently measures all of its financial assets and financial li abilit ies at amortized cost.

Impairment

Financial assets measured at amortized cost are assessed for indications of impaim1ent at the end of each reporting period. If impairment is identified, the amount of the write-down is recogn ized as an impairment loss in excess of revenues over expend itures. Previously recognized impairment losses are reversed when the extent of the impairment decreases, provided that the adjusted carrying amount is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in excess of revenues and expend itures.

Note 4 Financial Instruments

Items that meet the definition of a financial instrument include cash , restricted cash , investments, receivables and payables and accruals.

It is management's opinion that the association is not exposed to significant credit risk arising from these financial instruments.

The following is a summary of the significant financial instrument risks:

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an ent ity wil l encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Association is exposed to liquidity risk arising primarily from its payables and accruals.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of ri sk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. It is management's opinion that the Association is not exposed to significant currency risk or other price ri sk.

Note 5

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The fair values of fixed rate fmancial instruments are subject to change, since fair values fluctuate inversely with changes in market interest rates. The cash flows related to floating rate financial instruments change as market interest rates change. The Association is exposed to interest rate risk with respect to its investments, which bear interest at fixed rates.

Capital Management

The Association maintains adequate cash to meet current payment ob ligations and planned program expenditures. Pending actual disbursements for budgeted program expend itures, funds are invested in securities designed to maximize return whi le minimizing risk and maintaining flexibility. The investment objectives are subject to limitations defined by the Association's Board of Directors and are set to provide maximum current income within the approved risk parameters.

The Association considers its capital structure to consist of members' net assets. The Association is not subject to externa l restrictions on its net assets.

Communications The main 2015-16 activities of the AFPC communications committee were to review and update the AFPC communications plan, conduct an on-line member’s survey about AFPC communications, initiate the new member welcome letter, and review the usage information related to the AFPC website. The members of the AFPC communications committee are: Ann Thompson (Chair – Alberta), Jimi Galvao (British Columbia), Jason Perepelkin (Saskatchewan), Rebecca Law (Memorial), Doreen Sproule, and Harold Lopatka. A special thanks to Rebecca Law for her continuation as the newsletter editor. Education The education committee members are: Jamie Kellar (Chair - Toronto), Pat Gerber (British Columbia), Peter Loewen (British Columbia), Ingrid Price (British Columbia), Robert Renaud (Manitoba), Lavern Vercaigne (Manitoba), Heidi Deal (Dalhousie). J. Kellar participated in planning sessions related to the 2016 CPERC. The review of the AFPC educational outcomes was initiated. A list of potential review questions was developed. An external evaluator was hired to conduct two focus groups of key stakeholders (one participant from each faculty) to collect views about the current AFPC outcomes (e.g., how they are used, strengths, weaknesses, etc.). The results from the focus group sessions will be reviewed by the education committee and the next steps will be identified (e.g., no changes, collect more data, make revisions to current version of educational outcomes). Research The research committee members are: Silvia Alessi-Severini (Chair – Manitoba), Tannis Jurgens (Dalhousie), Gilles Leclerc (Montreal), Marion Pearson (British Columbia), and Frédéric Calon (Laval). The main activity addressed through the committee was to review the value of faculty members having access to IMS Brogan data. Based on the chair’s review it was concluded that access to these data was of benefit to faculty members for conducting pan Canadian drug utilization reviews. Access to these data has been negotiated by CPhA as a member benefit. 2015 Joint AFPC / AACP Annual Conference The 2015 conference was an educational and financial success. Approximately 65 AFPC members attended the conference and attendees appeared satisfied with the content and format. Three Canadian special presentations (90 minutes) and more than 40 posters were accepted.

Nine written reports were prepared as part of the Can Ex Ed project and are posted on the AFPC website. The reports can be accessed through the following URL http://afpc.info/content/canexed-reports. Dissemination of results from the Canadian experiential education project occurred at the 2016 CSHP Professional practice conference. Further dissemination will occur at the 2016 CPERC session, 2016 Canadian Pharmacists Conference, and through a 2016 CPhA webinar session. In addition, a number of articles based on the project findings are being considered for publication in professional and academic publications. PEPC met a number of times in 2015-16. The focus of discussions was on the Can Ex Ed project and follow-up. The current chair is Kelly Drummond, and Andrew Tolmie is the incoming chair. Program evaluation / assessment SIG Ken Cor (Alberta) chairs the program evaluation SIG and Gilles Leclerc (Montreal) chairs the assessment SIG. The program evaluation SIG has developed a national exit survey. The exit survey is being pilot tested in a number of faculties.

members. The SIGs have an educational session planned within the main 2016 CPERC program. The SIGs are holding an in-person business meeting at the 2016 CPERC. Members of the SIGs provided expertise to the PEPLN and Canadian experiential education projects. Skills lab SIG The skills lab SIG was created in early 2016. The Chair of the skills lab SIG is Cynthia Richard (Waterloo) and the Vice Chair is Theresa Charrois (Alberta). The SIG is creating a membership list of faculty members who are teaching skills labs and identifying one voting member from each faculty. The SIG is holding regular telephone meetings and an in-person business meeting at the 2016 CPERC. Pharmacy educator peer leader network (PEPLN) / Informatics SIG The PEPLN project was officially completed March 31, 2016. Thanks to the project leadership group; Lisa Bishop, Marie Rocchi, Donna Pipa and Valerie Leung. Also, thank you to the peer leaders who participated in the project: Marion Pearson (British Columbia), Teri Charrois (Alberta), Jeff Taylor (Saskatchewan), Terry Damm (Saskatchewan), Casey Sayre (Manitoba), Christopher Louizos (Manitoba), Kelly Grindrod (Waterloo), Marie Rocchi (Toronto), Gilles Leclerc (Montreal), and Lisa Bishop (Memorial). An informatics SIG has been formed to continue with activities related to education about digital and e-health. Lisa Bishop is the chair and Kelly Grindrod the vice chair. The PEPLN project built upon the work completed in the pharmacists-in-training project by using a peer-to-peer leader network to facilitate the integration of informatics competencies and the e-resource “informatics for pharmacy students” into pharmacy faculty curricula. Eight peer leaders (from 8/10 faculties) participated in the full project. Over one half of the pharmacy students enrolled in faculties used the e-resource. The network, PEPLN, created conditions considered essential to produce a collective impact. Thirty-four local integration projects were conducted in a 1 year period. Integration activities were conducted in seven different types of courses with pharmacy skills labs being the most frequent. The most common learning activity was pre-reading for labs or lectures. A number of non-course integration activities occurred. Twenty integration best practices were identified. Overall results illustrated that version 1 of the e-resource was a useful and valuable tool for integrating important concepts and principles about digital and e-health into pharmacy curricula. Twelve major and ten minor changes to version 1 of the resource were made to improve access / use, navigation / layout, and specific learning / teaching activities. Version 2 of the e-resource is available May 2016. A copy of the evaluation report is posted on the AFPC website (see http://afpc.info/content/pepln-evaluation-report). Poster and panel presentations about PEPLN were made at the Canada Health Infoway peer leader symposium. Abstracts were accepted for presentations at 2016 AACP annual conference and the 2016 E Health conferences. The 2016 CPERC session about PEPLN is entitled “Pharmacy Informatics: Reflecting on the project and considering the next steps”. Canadian Pharmacists Association – AFPC continues as an organizational member of CPhA. Over 250 AFPC faculty members qualify to receive member benefits with CPhA. Detailed information about CPhA member benefits is available on the AFPC website. Regular push emails are being sent out to AFPC faculty members who are CPhA members. At the administrative level, regular monthly briefings are held between the AFPC Executive Director and the CPhA CEO and senior CPhA staff.
