Caiola Appointed to ACPE Continuing Education Commission
03-19-2007
The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education has appointed Steve Caiola, MS, an associate professor at the UNC School of Pharmacy, to its newly established Continuing Pharmacy Education Commission.
Caiola, who will serve a three-year term on the CPEC, has been the director of the Postgraduate/Continuing Education Program at the School since July 1998.
The ACPE is the national agency in charge of accrediting professional degree programs in pharmacy and providers of continuing pharmacy education. The CPEC—a ten-member board—will consist of representatives from ACPE–accredited providers, state boards of pharmacy, practicing pharmacists, and pharmacy technicians. The board is responsible for
- recommending policy and procedure for the ACPE Continuing Pharmacy Education Provider Accreditation program,
- assisting in strategic planning,
- contributing in the planning of the biennial CPE Conference, and
- reviewing comprehensive reports (and other reports as necessary) from ACPE-accredited providers and recommending accreditation actions to the ACPE Board of Directors, which will review the recommendations at its regular January and June meetings and take appropriate actions.
