Enflux at the AACP Annual Meeting 2024: Leading the Way in Pharmacy Education Data Analytics
The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Annual Meeting in July 2024 served as a critical platform for discussing the future of pharmacy education. This year’s conference was particularly notable for its focus on the upcoming ACPE Standards 2025 and the ongoing transition to Curricular Outcomes and Entrustable Professional Activities (COEPA). These discussions underscored the importance of aligning pharmacy education with evolving accreditation requirements while preparing students for the demands of a dynamic profession. At the heart of these conversations was the growing role of pharmacy education data analytics in driving curriculum development and student success.

Navigating the ACPE Standards 2025
The ACPE Standards 2025 represent a pivotal shift in pharmacy education, emphasizing an outcomes-based approach that ensures students are not only knowledgeable but also proficient in key professional activities. These standards will officially take effect in July 2025, and institutions are actively preparing to align their curricula and assessments with these new requirements.
A significant part of this alignment involves the transition to COEPA standards, which focus on competency-based education. This shift is designed to ensure that graduates are able to shift theory into practice and perform the essential duties entrusted to a pharmacist. At the AACP Annual Meeting, many sessions were dedicated to exploring how schools can successfully integrate these standards into their programs, ensuring that their curricula are both comprehensive and practical.
CompetencyGenie™. Supporting the transition to COEPA Standards
While the AACP Annual Meeting did not specifically highlight higher education solutions like CompetencyGenie™, the discussions around the ACPE Standards 2025 and COEPA made it clear that tools enabling seamless curriculum mapping and assessment alignment are critical. CompetencyGenie™, a Chrome extension by Enflux, is designed to meet this need by allowing educators to tag exam items directly to COEPA standards. This functionality simplifies the process of aligning assessments with the required competencies, ensuring that pharmacy programs can effectively meet accreditation requirements.
Although CompetencyGenie™ was not explicitly mentioned at the conference, the trends and needs discussed strongly align with the capabilities of this tool. Educators and administrators are increasingly looking for solutions that can streamline the accreditation process and enhance the educational experience for students. CompetencyGenie™ provides a learning analytics solution that supports these goals by offering real-time insights into curriculum effectiveness and student performance.

Leveraging data analytics in pharmacy education
Another major theme at the AACP Annual Meeting was the growing role of data analytics in pharmacy education. As institutions prepare for the new accreditation standards, the ability to harness data for curriculum evaluation, student success, and program effectiveness becomes increasingly important. Enflux’s comprehensive suite of pharmacy education data analytics tools provides the insights needed to make informed decisions and foster continuous improvement.
By integrating learning analytics for pharmacy education, institutions can identify gaps, assess student outcomes, and make data-driven adjustments to their programs. This approach is essential not only for meeting accreditation standards but also for ensuring that students are well-prepared to succeed in their professional careers.
