Presbyterian College School of Pharmacy
Presbyterian College School Assessment Plan (Part 2)
Every year, the school of pharmacy evaluates the program outcomes of our school of pharmacy in a variety of ways to answer 7 key questions:
1 How well does PCSP prepare graduates with foundational knowledge, affective learning domain, and clinical reasoning skills to practice pharmacy?
2 How well does the pre-APPE curriculum in PCSP prepare graduates successfully on their advanced pharmacy practice experiences?
3. To what degree is PCSP recruiting and admitting a diverse and quali ed student body?
4 How well does the PCSP co-curricular program prepare graduates to be self-awareness and as collaborators, leaders, innovators, professionals, promoters, and advocates?
5 To what extent is PCSP a positive environment and culture that promotes self-directed learning, professional behavior, leadership, collegial relationships, and collaboration?
6 How effective is the organization and administration of the school and college at fostering the ful llment of the institution's mission?
7. To what extent is PCSP recruiting, retaining, supporting, and mentoring faculty, staff, and preceptors who excel in their ful llment of the tripartite mission of the School?
Here are some of the experiential related items and their assessment for the 2021-2022 academic year (more will be shared in the next newsletter, too)
For any items marked as "commendable," we give ourselves a pat on the back and a big thank you to our preceptors! For any items marked as "needs improvement," we will work with our preceptors and students to help ensure these items meet the mark in the coming year We are very pleased at the performance of our students and the high quality of our rotation experiences!
