Advisory Committee
The Experiential Programs Advisory Committee (EPAC) was formed in 2007 to ensure that the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences' experiential programs continually satisfy or surpass ACPE standards and guidelines, CAPE outcomes, and the College's strategic plan.
The committee meets quarterly to discuss issues of importance to the Office of Experiential Education, including faculty appointments of preceptors and quality assurance measures for experiential programs.
EPAC members represent the broad spectrum of practice area and geographic zones within our experiential programs, including hospital practice, community practice, ambulatory care, and geriatrics.
