The role of the Office of Assessment at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy has been expanded to encompass the School’s new strategic-planning and ongoing institutional assessment efforts. Mary Roth McClurg, PharmD, MHS, will continue to direct the School’s new Office of Strategic Planning and Assessment. As director, Roth will now report to Vice Dean Russ Mumper, PhD, to reflect the broader role of the new office.

Roth is an associate professor in the School’s Division of Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy.

“Dr. Roth and her office have played a pivotal role in the development of the School’s new strategic plan. The success in producing this bold and ambitious plan would not have been possible without her vision and leadership,” Mumper says. “In addition, she has laid the groundwork for continuous monitoring and improvement of many aspects of the School’s mission.”

The office will work to draft a new, clean-slate vision statement and five-year plan for assessment efforts across the School that will include strategic planning, School-wide institutional effectiveness, and degree-program assessment. The other major responsibilities of the office and its staff include

  • Implementing an academic fellowship program in the office,
  • Monitoring and tracking the progress of the School’s strategic planning,
  • Ensuring the successful implementation and execution of Strategic Initiative 7 (strategic planning, assessment, and quality improvement) of the School’s strategic plan,
  • Designing and developing a central database to house and archive multiple sources of data used throughout the School for quality improvement,
  • Managing and administering AACP surveys related to curriculum and assessment, and
  • Working with the Office of Professional Education to prepare interim reports for the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education.

Amy Sloane continues in her role as assessment coordinator in the office. As coordinator, she manages the day-to-day operations of the office, including course evaluations; website development and maintenance, annual surveys; data collection, management and reporting; and serves as staff liaison to the Assessment Committee.
