The educational outcomes established for US colleges and schools of pharmacy through the Center for the Advancement of Pharmaceutical Education (CAPE) are applied across three specific domains: pharmaceutical care, systems management, and public health. As they develop and assess their public health outcomes, colleges and schools of pharmacy are creating community-campus and interprofessional linkages that increase the reach of health promotion and disease prevention messages to general and specific populations.

Through shared faculty positions, interprofessional experiential learning opportunities, interprofessional research across academic units and schools as well as with community-based organizations, pharmacy students and educators are able to improve adherence, implement population-based messages, engage in epidemiologic research, and collaborate with public health administrators, educators, and community health workers to increase the reach and intensity of health promotion and disease prevention messages.

A panel of pharmacy educators will present the pharmacy educational outcomes, models of current activity related to the broad mission of higher education- teaching, research, and service. Session attendees will learn the necessary steps they can take to develop similar programs at their community or academic organization.

Learning Objectives: Attendees will be able to

• describe contemporary pharmacy education's emphasis on public health;
• evaluate individual and organizational opportunites for interprofessional programs; and
• create these linkages from information shared by panel members regarding their specific programs.
