The goal of a professional program at a school or college of pharmacy is to produce competent and professional pharmacy practitioners. In 2009, The American College of Clinical Pharmacy published a white paper to assist in the teaching of professionalism in schools/colleges of pharmacy to include traits such as responsibility, commitment to excellence, respect for others, honesty and integrity, and care with compassion. In February 2015, the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education released their updated accreditation standards (Standards 2016) which introduced the concept of co-curricular activities (Standard 12.3): experiences that complement, augment, and/or advance what is learned in the formal didactic and experiential curriculum. This article details the Professional Development Curriculum at Western University of Health Sciences (WesternU) College of Pharmacy as a potential educational model that promotes professionalism through mandating co-curricular activities for student pharmacists.
药学院校专业项目的目标是培养有能力且专业的药学从业者。2009年，美国临床药学会发表了一篇白皮书，以协助药学院校开展专业素养教学，其中包括责任、追求卓越、尊重他人、诚实正直以及富有同情心等特质。2015年2月，药学教育认证委员会发布了更新后的认证标准（2016版标准），其中引入了课外实践活动的概念（标准12.3）：即补充、强化和/或推进在正式理论与实践课程中学到的知识的实践活动。本文详细介绍了西健康科学大学（WesternU）药学院的专业发展课程，该课程作为一种潜在的教育模式，通过要求学生药剂师参与课外实践活动来促进专业素养的培养。
