Abstract

The AACP Argus Commission is comprised of the five immediate past AACP presidents and is annually charged by the AACP President to examine one or more strategic questions related to pharmacy education often in the context of environmental scanning. Depending upon the specific charge, the President may appoint additional individuals to the Commission. The 2008-09 Argus Commission was charged to examine the question of how colleges and schools of pharmacy are working to create agents of change for pharmacy and society. This charge was derived from the recommendation of the 2007-08 Argus Commission which stated that “the 2008-09 Commission, collaboratively with national student pharmacy leaders, should examine the curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular strategies necessary for the development of change leadership for health care system improvement in student, faculty and alumni.” AACP President Yanchick invited five national student pharmacist leaders to work with the Argus Commission for this discussion. Their views and voices contributed rich insight and recommendations for the Commission's work. All participants agreed that it was rewarding to link student pharmacist leaders’ perspectives from multiple schools and organizations with the thoughts of academic pharmacy's leaders in this unique gathering of the Argus Commission.
