HICP has just updated its accreditation status on its
website but it still generates inaccurate information:
The Hawaii College of Pharmacy has submitted an application for accreditation for its Doctor of Pharmacy program. This application will be considered by the
ACPE Board of Directors during its June 24-27, 2004, meeting. Should the Board determine that the application adequately addresses the expectations set forth in the accreditation standards, it may authorize an
on-site evaluation during fall 2004 for purposes of gathering additional information about the College and the program.....Thus, the evaluation team report emanating from the fall 2004 evaluation will be considered at the
January 2005 meeting of the ACPE Board of Directors, at which time the Board would consider the awarding of candidate accreditation status
This is the emailed I have received from the ACPE today:
Based on the process of accreditation and the fact that ACPE has NOT received an application, we cannot say for certain what will happen with the College's accreditation. The College has
no accreditation status at this point. They have delayed submission of their accreditation application until
fall 2004 (October 1 deadline). Their application will be reviewed at the
January 2005 Board of Directors meeting. A successful review of the application will result in the
Board authorizing a visit to the College during the spring 2005 semester by an ACPE evaluation team. That team will prepare a report for consideration by the ACPE Board at its
June 2005 meeting, at which time the College could be awarded candidate status if the situation warrants this status. If not, candidate status would be denied and no accreditation status would be awarded.
Please email the ACPE <
[email protected]> directly regarding HICP accreditation. I have written to the ACPE and filed a formal complaint about HICP.
