Curriculum mapping and review is now an expected continuous quality improvement initiative of pharmacy professional programs. Effectively implementing and sustaining this expectation can be a challenge to institutions of higher education and requires dedicated faculty members, a systematic approach, creativity, and--perhaps most importantly--demonstrated leadership at all levels of the institution. To address its specific situation and needs, the University of Oklahoma College of Pharmacy implemented a peer review process of ongoing curriculum mapping and evaluation. An electronic Pharmacy Curriculum Management System (PCMS) was developed to support faculty efforts to manage curricular data, monitor program outcomes, and improve communications to its stakeholders on 2 campuses and across the state.
课程映射与审查如今是药学专业项目预期的持续质量改进举措。有效实施并维持这一预期对高等教育机构而言可能是一项挑战,需要敬业的教职员工、系统的方法、创造力,或许最重要的是,在机构各级展现出领导力。为应对其具体情况和需求,俄克拉荷马大学药学院实施了一项正在进行的课程映射与评估同行评审流程。开发了一个电子药学课程管理系统(PCMS),以支持教职员工管理课程数据、监测项目成果,并改善与两个校区及全州利益相关者的沟通。
