Top Ten Emerging Health Care Trends: Implications for Patients, Providers, and Educators Ahead of the Curve A project of the AMCP Foundation and distributed in partnership with the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy
Introduction 20 years ago: The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) issues the Janus Commission Report, restating colleges of pharmacy s responsibility to navigate changes on the horizon Today: The pace of change is accelerating, and it will be critically important for pharmacy educators: To comprehend today s trends and their far-reaching implications To assume leadership roles in moving the pharmacy profession To prepare students for the challenges and opportunities ahead 2
Introduction (contd) This module helps delineate today s most critical changes, identify trends that are inter-related, and identify opportunities for pharmacy leaders, including educators, to reshape their organizations to meet today s and tomorrow s challenges. Ahead of the Curve presents the results of a survey that identifies and links these changes, and suggests ways pharmacy educators can prepare the leaders of tomorrow.
