After a comprehensive review process, the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education<\/a> has extended the full accreditation of the University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy through 2032.<\/p>\n

After months of review through remote meetings and in-person visits, the ACPE board determined the URI College of Pharmacy to be in compliance with all standards for pharmacy education, extending its accreditation of the college for the maximum eight years. The continuing endorsement of the college\u2019s programs is gratifying, though not surprising, said Dean Kerry LaPlante, as the college has been continually accredited throughout its existence.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur vision is to advance health and transform communities, and we take pride in the collaborative efforts of our outstanding faculty, dedicated staff, and ambitious students,\u201d LaPlante said. \u201cTogether, we’ve cultivated a community that is truly remarkable for both learning and working. I want to acknowledge the tremendous efforts of our entire team in ensuring the success of the accreditation and self study. A special appreciation goes to Matthew Lacroix, our director of accreditation, Jayne Pawasauskas, clinical professor and chairperson of the self study, and former Dean Paul Larrat.\u201d<\/p>\n

During its visit to Avedisian Hall on the Kingston campus, the ACPE site team identified several notable strengths within the program, LaPlante said, including the effectiveness of the college\u2019s strategic planning process and monitoring, the personalized attention given to each student in experiential placement, and the diverse array of experiences curated by the office of experiential education. The team also commended the college on its integration of graduate student teaching assistants in operational aspects such as exam assessment. Some notable statistics include:<\/p>\n
