  • Mercer University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences Pharmacy Teaching Program 2011/2012
    Mercer University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences Pharmacy Teaching Program 2011/2012 Background The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) post-graduate year one (PGY1) residency standards strongly encourage programs to offer opportunities to residents to gain experience in teaching.1 The post-graduate year two (PGY2) standards have an outcome (Outcome E1) requiring that participants demonstrate skills required to function in an academic setting.2 Several publications describe the effectiveness of teaching certificate programs offered by colleges of pharmacy.3-5 Post-graduate training programs that are at pharmacy schools typically have opportunities to gain classroom experience and receive instruction on educational methods. However, at post-graduate training programs that are not affiliated with a pharmacy school, this opportunity may not be as readily available. Many of the coordinators of pharmacy post-graduate training programs in Metro Atlanta have requested that Mercer University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (COPHS) provide some teaching experience for their residents. Additionally, Mercer University COPHS Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) students currently participate in many teaching-related activities. It would be ideal if their participation could be formalized and documented to help prepare them for careers in academia. Mercer University COPHS would gain teaching assistants for labs and facilitators for breakout group activities and case discussions. Mercer University COPHS students would benefit from interacting with the residents and PhD students. Training residents and PhD students in teaching will help position them for a possible career in academia. Objectives and Goals This practice-based continuing education program is based on ASHP residency standards and consists of seminars, teaching experience, precepting experience, and developing a teaching portfolio.

  • Faculty Handbook Revised 2014
    MERCER UNIVERSITY FACULTY HANDBOOK REVISED 2014 The University Faculty Handbook describes the organizational structure and governance of the University, sets forth the major policies and procedures affecting faculty members, and describes faculty retirement and benefit plans, current as of the date of publication. Because the University is a dynamic institution, it is inevitable that changes will occur, new policies and procedures will be adopted, and existing descriptions will be superseded. This handbook will be revised periodically, but changes between handbook revisions will take effect as they are duly adopted. Policies and Procedures in this edition supersede all former editions unless there is a statement in the text of this edition noting otherwise. In addition to the University Faculty Handbook, college and school supplemental operating guidelines and procedures are available in each of the colleges and schools of the University. These supplemental handbooks are attached to the University Faculty Handbook. The provisions of the University Faculty Handbook supersede collegiate policies and procedures. Wherever the University has chosen to adopt policies or principles similar to or incorporating portions of statements of the American Association of University Professors or other external bodies, the University reserves the right to interpret such policies or principles for itself and is not bound by external interpretations. Additional policies and procedures affecting all University employees are published in the Employee Benefit Handbook.
