Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing Education: ACPE, the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Accreditation Program continued collaboration in offering "Accreditation of Continuing Education Planned by the Team for the Team." The goals of this joint accreditation are to support health care team-focused education that improves patient care, and at the same time to streamline the accreditation processes. Collaboration with our counterparts in medicine (ACCME) and nursing (ANCC) CE accreditors progressed with 43 jointly accredited providers, 28 applications pending review. Further information may be found on the Joint Accreditation website (http://jointaccreditation.org/).
American Society of Clinical Oncology, Boston Children's Hospital, CAMC Health Education & Research Institute, Centra, Dannemiller, Governance Institute, Idaho State University College of Pharmacy, Medscape/WebMD, National Kidney Foundation, National Lipid Association, OnCourse Learning, Rush University Hospital, Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences, University of Minnesota, Interprofessional Continuing Education, University of Vermont College of Medicine, UW-Madison IPCE group, and Washington University St. Louis School of Medicine are the organizations that received joint accreditation as providers of continuing education for health care professionals in 2016. Creative Educational Concepts, Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Prisons, Duke University and National Committee for Quality Assurance received Re-Accreditation. For further information please go to the Joint Accreditation website at www.jointaccreditation.org.
A Joint Accreditation Leadership Summit, partially supported by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, was held in the Spring 2016. Education leaders from more than two dozen provider organization across the country, from Hawaii to New York participated. Participants representing hospitals, health systems, medical schools, specialty societies, education companies, and government agencies shared strategies for advancing health care education, by the team for the team. A report was published that shows how interprofessional continuing education (IPCE) contributes to improving health care team collaboration and patient care. By the Team for the Team: Evolving Interprofessional Continuing Education for Optimal Patient Care – Report from the 2016 Joint Accreditation Leadership Summit includes best practices, challenges, case examples, key recommendations, and data about the value and impact of IPCE.
CPE Monitor: ACPE and the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) developed a continuing pharmacy education (CPE) tracking system that authenticates and stores data for completed CPE units received by pharmacists and pharmacy technicians from ACPE-accredited providers. The system saves state boards of pharmacy, CPE providers, pharmacists, and pharmacy technicians time and cost by streamlining the process of verifying that licensees and registrants meet CPE requirements and by providing a centralized repository for pharmacists' and pharmacy technicians' continuing education details. The CPE tracking system creates a direct link for sending CPE data from ACPE-accredited providers to ACPE and then to NABP, ensuring that reported CPE units are officially verified by ACPE- accredited providers. Providers should not provide electronic or printed statements of credit to their pharmacist and pharmacy technician participants. Instead, once information is received by NABP, the tracking system makes CPE data for each participant available to the state boards of pharmacy where the participant is licensed or registered. Data provided to CPE Monitor ® is the official record of participants' CPE activities. If the participants require a paper form of credit, the participants may print the information from their e-profile.
Continuing Professional Development Steering Committee (formerly the Continuing Professional Development Task Force) met in May and November 2016. The CPD Steering Committee members include: Dennis Brierton, Aurora Health Care; JoAnn Harris, ASHP; Kristin Janke, University of Minnesota; Jennifer Moulton, Collaborative Education Institute; Toyin Tofade, University of Maryland; CoraLynn Trewet, University of Iowa. The work of the Steering Committee contributes to ACPE's ongoing goal to improve the approaches and strategies that pharmacists and pharmacy technicians adopt for their lifelong learning.
International Commission Activities: The International Services Program made important progress during the year. The Commission met in May and November 2016. On the recommendation of the International Commission, Yousif Abdu Asiri (Saudi Arabia) was appointed as a Commissioner for a three-year term beginning February 1, 2017. The Board re-appointed Indra Reddy, Janet Engle, and Anthony Wutoh for second three-year terms. Azza Agha (Egypt) completed her term on the IC and was thanked for her exemplary service. On the recommendation of the IC, the Board granted Certification to four programs and continued the Certification of three pharmacy degree programs. The Board approved new Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with two national accreditation agencies and continued MOUs with six national and international organizations. The Board adopted a new version of the Certification Quality Criteria and approved changes to the Certification Policies and Procedures. Michael Rouse, Director, International Services, was invited to speak on ISP, CPD and other topics by organizations and institutions in a number of countries. Several live webinars were presented. The ISP team further enhanced and carried out the strategic objectives approved by the ACPE Board.

PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS OF COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS OF PHARMACY
Accreditation Actions Taken
On the basis of comprehensive, focused, and staff consultation evaluations conducted during the reporting year, communications received from the institutions, ongoing review of first- time NAPLEX passing rates, entry class size, attrition, academic dismissals, withdrawals, and on-time graduation rates, and comments of the Public Interest Panel, the Board of Directors determined the accreditation status along with specified terms and conditions for various professional programs noted below.
