To cross reference the core entrustable professional activities (EPAs) to a complete set of educational guidance documents for the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) curriculum to create a map for pharmacy educators. The Mapping EPAs Task Force consisted of nine members who first worked independently and then together in small working groups to map five assigned educational guidance documents (eg, Center for the Advancement of Pharmacy Education [CAPE] Outcomes, Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education [ACPE] Standards 1-4, and the Essential Elements for Core Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences [APPEs]) to the Core Entrustable Professional Activities for New Pharmacy Graduates. Four working groups completed the mapping process during phases 1 and 2, which was followed by an independent quality assurance review and consensus in phase 3. All 15 core EPA statements were mapped to one or more of the educational documents. One item from the CAPE Outcomes could not be mapped to a core EPA statement. The first five EPA statements mapped directly to the five elements of the Pharmacists' Patient Care Process: collect, assess, plan, implement, and follow-up: monitor and evaluate. This comprehensive EPA map is the first curriculum crosswalk that encompasses a complete set of educational guidance documents including the Essential Elements for Core APPEs for the Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum. If adopted by the Academy, this curriculum crosswalk will provide pharmacy schools with a common interpretation of important educational guidance documents; serve as the foundation for curricular development, revision, and assessment; and ensure student pharmacists are prepared to enter the pharmacy profession.
为药剂学博士（PharmD）课程的整套教育指导文件交叉参考核心委托专业活动（EPAs），为药学教育工作者绘制地图。映射 EPAs 工作组由九名成员组成，他们首先独立工作，然后再分成小组一起工作，将五个指定的教育指导文件（例如，药学教育促进中心 [CAPE] 成果、药学教育认证委员会 [ACPE] 标准 1-4 以及核心高级实践经验 [APPEs] 的基本要素）映射到新药剂学毕业生的核心委托专业活动。四个工作组在第 1 阶段和第 2 阶段完成了映射过程，随后在第 3 阶段进行了独立的质量保证审查和达成共识。所有 15 项核心 EPA 陈述都映射到一个或多个教育文件。CAPE 成果中的一个项目无法映射到核心 EPA 陈述。前五个 EPA 陈述直接映射到药剂师患者护理过程的五个要素：收集、评估、计划、实施和随访：监测和评估。这个全面的 EPA 地图是第一个涵盖药剂学博士课程的整套教育指导文件的课程交叉参考，包括核心 APPEs 的基本要素。如果被学院采用，这个课程交叉参考将为药学学校提供对重要教育指导文件的共同解释；作为课程发展、修订和评估的基础；并确保药剂学学生为进入药学专业做好准备。
