For the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) strategic engagement is critical to the success of colleges and schools of pharmacy in expanding pharmacy and public health practice, meeting programmatic needs, and fulfilling institutional missions. The 2019-2020 Strategic Engagement Committee was charged with exploring the collaborative relationships colleges and schools have within their state to advance pharmacy practice. More specifically, this committee was tasked to examine those relationships with current state pharmacy and medical associations. This report seeks to provide insights from this work and share recommendations to assist AACP in facilitating practice transformation. To uncover current schools' relationships with state and medical associations, the committee utilized AACP's ability in convening members to conduct focus groups at INsight 2020 and one-on-one interviews with key faculty members. Overall, partnerships with state pharmacy associations are successful or growing, whereas there is still work to be done in developing relationships and collaborating with medical and health care societies. We found that there are several schools with "best practices" related to state association collaborations and look to highlight exemplar practices in this report as they are critical towards practice transformations.
对于美国药学院协会（AACP）来说，战略参与对于学院和药学院扩大药学和公共卫生实践、满足项目需求和履行机构使命的成功至关重要。2019-2020 年战略参与委员会负责探索学院和学校在其所在州内的合作关系，以推进药学实践。更具体地说，该委员会的任务是检查与当前州药学和医学协会的关系。本报告旨在提供这项工作的见解，并分享建议，以协助 AACP 促进实践转型。为了了解当前学校与州和医学协会的关系，委员会利用 AACP 召集成员的能力，在 INsight 2020 年进行焦点小组讨论，并与主要教师进行一对一访谈。总的来说，与州药学协会的伙伴关系是成功的或正在发展的，而在与医学和医疗保健协会建立关系和合作方面仍有工作要做。我们发现，有几所学校在与州协会合作方面有“最佳实践”，并希望在本报告中突出这些实践的典范，因为它们对实践转型至关重要。
