Abstract

A first-of-its-kind event at the 2022 Midyear Clinical Meeting & Exhibition brought together pharmacy school deans and pharmacy leaders from health systems to identify mutual challenges and discuss collaborative approaches to overcoming them. “That was the most energizing of all of the meetings I attended at the Midyear,” said Lindsey R. Kelley, associate chief of pharmacy at University of Michigan Health. During each Midyear meeting, ASHP invites the deans of the nation’s accredited schools and colleges of pharmacy to discuss societal and healthcare trends that affect pharmacy education and to identify common areas of focus. The 2022 meeting was the first time health-system executives were invited to the event. The agenda focused on collaboration between health systems and academia, pharmacy practice advancement and advocacy, and improving the workforce pipeline. Kelley said it was enlightening to discuss how the declining enrollment of student pharmacists at the nation’s schools and colleges of pharmacy affects both health systems and academia.
