UCSF School of Pharmacy Accreditation with Probation

[mlti98]

Hey guys!

Does anyone know why UCSF's PharmD program is placed on probation status?

University of California San Francisco School of Pharmacy’s Doctor of Pharmacy program has been given the status of Accreditation with Probation by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education, 135 South LaSalle Street, Suite 4100, Chicago, IL 60603, 312/664-3575; FAX, 312/664-4652, web site www.acpe-accredit.org, for partial or non-compliance with Standard 14: Curricular Core – Pharmacy Practice Experiences. For an explanation of the program’s Accreditation with Probation status, consult the Office of the Dean or ACPE.

There's your answer right there. I doubt UCSF cares, if it comes to a head ACPE will back down since this is one of their prized programs, after all.

I don't see ACPE having any reason to back down. Most accreditation evaluators are part of another school, and so would benefit from UCSF loosing some standing.

I also don't see any reason for UCSF to not fix the problem. It means that ACPE found something out of compliance, and UCSF has no more than 2 years to fix it.

Here is UCSF's response to their probation

just received this email from UCSF today:

"At the June 25-27, 2015 meeting of the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), the Board voted to recognize the School as fully accredited and compliant with all standards. Accreditation for the Doctor of Pharmacy program is extended through June 30, 2022."

Whatever the problem was, I guess they fixed it!
