Advancing Pharmacy Education & Professional Collaboration
HISTORY
For a number of years, a group of Arab American pharmacy educators started to gather socially at the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy Annual Meeting. In 2017, the group decided to formalize professional efforts among them and a business meeting was held in conjunction with the 2018 AACP Annual Meeting. Since then, the group worked on and voted on identity, mission and core values. A strategic plan with five strategic priorities were also approved at the business meeting in 2019. Currently, the group is working on finalizing the bylaws, obtaining a non-profit status and addressing the identified strategic priorities.
نبذةٌ تاريخية
بدأت مجموعةٌ من معلمي الصيدلة العرب الأمريكيين في التواصلِ وعقدِ اللقاءاتِ الإجتماعية لعدد من السنين أثناء المؤتمرات السنوية للجمعية الأمريكية لكليات الصيدلة ، وفي عام ألف وأربعمئة وثمانية وثلاثين للهجرة ، الموافق للعام السابع عشر بعد الألفين للميلاد ، قررت المجموعة إضفاء الطابع الرسمي على الجهود المهنية فيما بينها وعقد اجتماع عمل بالتزامن مع الاجتماع السنوي للجمعية الأمريكية لكليات الصيدلة في ذلك العام. منذ ذلك الحين ، أنشأت المجموعة وتوافقت على الهوية والرسالة والقيم الأساسية ، كما توافقت على خطة طويلة الأمد ذات خمس أولويات عامة في اجتماع عمل عُقد بعد ذلك بعامين. تعمل المجموعة حالياً على وضع اللمسات الأخيرة على اللوائحِ ، والحصول على وضع قانوني غير ربحي ، وبدء العمل في نطاق الأولويات العامة المتفق عليها.
