CODE OF CONDUCT COMMITTEE

In accordance with University of Pittsburgh policy, the School of Pharmacy has a Code of Conduct Committee whose function is to delineate and uphold the professional and ethical practice standards of pharmacy as outlined in the Code of Conduct. The Committee recommends policies and procedures related to student and faculty conduct, integrity, professionalism and dress in the classroom, at professional experience sites and anywhere that students represent the School of Pharmacy. In addition, members of the committee are charged to evaluate alleged violations of the School of Pharmacy Code of Conduct that have not been resolved at the student-faculty level and to provide recommendations for appropriate action.

This Committee is composed of faculty members from the Departments of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmacy and Therapeutics, as well as one student member from each class (P1 through P4) and one graduate student member. In the fall semester of every year, the current P1 class elects one student representative to serve on the Code of Conduct Committee. The term of service is four years. In the event of a resignation, a substitute will be elected to serve. Meetings are usually held each term, with additional meetings as necessary to accomplish the mission of the committee. For more information or questions, please contact Dr. Tom Nolin, [email protected].

CURRICULUM ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE

The Curriculum Assessment Committee is charged to implement the school’s assessment plan and coordinate assessment activities (including the student portfolio process) that collect information about the degree to which students attain the school’s 11 curricular outcomes. A significant focus is on the analysis of assessment measures and integration with other bodies within the School, based on the results of those analyses, to improve curricular quality, student learning, and the achievement of the professional competencies.

One student from each of the P1, P2, and P3 years serves on the Curriculum Assessment committee to represent student perspectives on the issues and ideas discussed. Once selected in the P1 year, students continue their service throughout the P2 and P3 years. P4 students are welcome to continue their participation as their rotation schedules permit. Meetings are generally held once a month. For more information or questions, please contact Dr. Neal Benedict, [email protected].

CURRICULUM COMMITTEE The Curriculum Committee is responsible for curricular development, evaluation and improvement and serves as the central body that provides oversight of curricular structure, content, process and outcomes. The role of students on the committee is to serve as the representative for their respective year, as a communication link between the committee and the class. The committee often looks to the student members for insight into the structure and content of individual courses and the curriculum as a whole. Students will also conduct focus groups and use other mechanisms to seek input from their peers for course reviews and other committee matters.

Students are elected by their class to serve on the Curriculum Committee. The committee appointment is for 4 years for the duration of enrollment in the PharmD program. Two representatives from each class serve on the committee. Meetings are generally held once a month. For more information or questions, please contact Dr. Pamela Smithburger, [email protected].

Other members include the associate dean for education and the experiential learning course coordinators for each year of the professional program. Staff members include the assistant director for the experiential learning program. Six students participate in a non-voting capacity.
