"The co-curriculum is intended to run parallel to the formal curriculum and support the development of students’ professional knowledge, skills, abilities, behaviors, and attitudes, including scientific foundation, knowledge application, and practice competencies. Additionally, the co-curriculum can also support proficiency in skills and achievement of competencies that are concurrently taught within the formal curriculum. ACPE evaluates the way programs assess students’ acquisition of knowledge and application of knowledge to practice within co-curricular experiences and especially how they advance the professional development of students within affective domain areas of learning."

American College Of Clinical Pharmacy White Paper: Cultural Competency In Health Care And Its Implications For Pharmacy Part 3a: Emphasis On Pharmacy Education, Curriculums, And Future Directions, Mary Beth O'Connell, Magaly Rodriguez De Bittner, Therese Poirier, Lamis R. Karaoui, Margarita Echeverri, Aleda M.H. Chen, Shin-Yu Lee, Deepti Vyas, Christine K. O’Neil, Anita N. Jackson

Pharmacy Practice Faculty Publications

Culture influences patients' beliefs and behaviors toward health and illness. As the U.S. population becomes more diverse, a critical need exists for pharmacy education to incorporate patient-centered culturally sensitive health care knowledge and skills into the curriculum. Nursing was the first profession to incorporate this type of learning and training into its curriculums, followed by medicine. Pharmacy has also made great progress to revise curriculums, but inconsistency exists in depth, breadth, and methods across pharmacy colleges. This article addresses important aspects of pharmacy education such as curriculum development, incorporation of educational innovations and techniques into the teaching of patient-centered culturally …
