Abstract
The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy charged its Argus Commission (comprised of the past 5 AACP Presidents) to conduct an environmental scan of the pharmacy academy, and to develop a forecast, providing substantive guidance to colleges and schools of pharmacy in their strategic, academic, and research planning and visioning. The forecast was informed by a survey of over 400 leaders, faculty, and staff at all AACP member colleges and schools of pharmacy. Utilizing methods employed by other associations, the survey provided the wisdom of the crowd to predict phenomena that will impact the pharmacy academy over the next 5 years. Survey items focused on broad, over-arching issues facing the pharmacy academy, as well as specific concerns in pharmacy education, practice, and research. Members of the Argus Commission, along with invited guest authors, reviewed the survey results and have offered observations and detailed predictions of future events. Topics included in the forecast consist of the financial future of pharmacy education, trends in the delivery of pharmacy education, workforce issues in pharmacy practice, research funding, and future core competencies for graduate education. A focused section of the Forecast addresses the future of artificial intelligence (AI) in pharmacy education, practice, and research. This forecast is intended to provide reliable and innovative predictions that can be informative for proactive strategic planning for AACP and at all individual colleges and schools of pharmacy.
