Abstract
The Canadian Association of University Continuing Education (CAUCE) has recognized the ADAPT continuing education (CE) program for pharmacists with a 2012 Award for Program Excellence. Every year, CAUCE presents awards for excellence in program development in university continuing education. This year, the ADAPT program received top marks in the category of Non-Credit University Programming over 48 hours. ADAPT was developed by the Canadian Pharmacists Association (CPhA), the Canadian Society of Hospital Pharmacists and the University of Waterloo. It is a CE program that helps pharmacists develop knowledge and skills in medication management and collaborative patient care. The program is aimed at building expertise among pharmacists at a time when scopes of practice are expanding and when more pharmacists are part of interprofessional primary health care teams, says Phil Emberley, Director of Pharmacy Innovation at CPhA. “By combining best practices in online education, evidence-based content and transformative learning, ADAPT gives pharmacists the specialized knowledge, skills and confidence they need to care for patients in this evolving health care environment,” he says. “ADAPT is unique in the Canadian pharmacy landscape, and we are very pleased to see it recognized with this award.” Funded in part by Health Canada, ADAPT was extensively piloted in late 2010 and graduated its first full class in December 2011.
