Teaching and Learning Certificate Program for Pharmacists 2025-2026
The Teaching Certificate Program is a 9 session synchronous course that meets monthly, offering a total of 18 hours of continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credit. This longitudinal professional development series is designed to equip pharmacy residents and early-career pharmacists with foundational skills in teaching, precepting, and educational scholarship. This program is ideal for those interested in academic pharmacy, clinical education, or enhancing their instructional abilities in practice-based settings.
Over the course of nine sessions, participants will engage in interactive workshops covering essential topics such as instructional design, adult learning theory, experiential teaching, and assessment strategies. Each session includes hands-on learning activities and practical assignments that promote reflection, collaboration, and skill development.
Participants will also develop a personal teaching philosophy, design instructional materials, and receive feedback on their teaching through peer and facilitator evaluations.
