Abstract

The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy Pharmaceutics Section assembled a Pharmaceutics Learning Outcomes Task Force to develop a didactic curriculum toolkit that delineates a tiered set of topics and subtopics for pharmaceutics and related disciplines, including pharmacy calculations, pharmacokinetics, and compounding. The task force mapped the topics and subtopics to the Center for the Advancement of Pharmacy Education 2013 outcomes, Curricular Outcomes, and Entrustable Professional Activities (2022), and to the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination 2025 content domains. The purpose of this toolkit is to guide PharmD programs in developing content in pharmaceutics and related disciplines. To help prioritize this content, a tiering process similar to that used in the American College of Clinical Pharmacy Pharmacotherapy Didactic Curriculum Toolkit was developed. This pharmaceutics toolkit can be utilized by faculty members to help select and prioritize topics in pharmaceutics and related disciplinary courses. Moreover, curriculum committees can use the toolkit to determine the appropriate coverage in these disciplines in PharmD programs.
