Based on the growing importance of community engagement and the recognition of its importance by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP), the committee offers several examples of community engagement activities for consideration and replication by our academy and beyond. These activities, including those of winning institutions of the Lawrence J. Weaver Transformational Community Engagement Award, can be mapped to the core components of community engagement presented in Table 1. The committee, using an implementation readiness framework, provides the reader with insight into the challenges that may impact successful community engagement and encourages our academy to continue its work to support faculty capacity in this area. Toward that end, the committee offers a policy statement that encourages schools and colleges of pharmacy to have an office or designate a faculty member whose focus is specifically on community engagement. The committee also offers a recommendation that the core components be included in the criteria for the Weaver Award.
基于社区参与日益重要，以及美国药学院协会（AACP）对其重要性的认可，委员会提供了一些社区参与活动的示例，以供本学会和其他机构考虑和复制。这些活动包括劳伦斯·J·韦弗变革性社区参与奖的获奖机构的活动，可以对应表 1 中呈现的社区参与核心要素进行映射。委员会使用实施准备框架，使读者了解可能影响社区参与成功的挑战，并鼓励我们的学会继续努力支持该领域的教师能力。为此，委员会提出了一项政策声明，鼓励学校和药学院设立一个办公室或指定一名专门从事社区参与工作的教员。委员会还建议将核心要素纳入韦弗奖的评选标准。
