Continuing Professional Development - Information and Instructions

   

CPD for Pharmacy Continuing Professional Development

---

Information and Instructions

 

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is an approach to lifelong learning. The American Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) defines CPD as a self-directed, ongoing, systematic, and outcomes-focused approach to lifelong learning that is applied to practice. It involves the process of active participation in formal and informal learning activities that assist individuals in developing and maintaining continuing competence, enhancing their professional practice, and supporting the achievement of their career goals. The principles of CPD have already been incorporated into continuing education systems in several countries, including Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

 

In 2024, ACPE launched new criteria for CPD in the USA that operates similarly to the traditional CPE Credit program. The main difference is that the individual pharmacist drives their own learning goals and outcomes. As a CPE and CPD Provider, The University of Texas at Austin College of Pharmacy may now organize both CPE and CPD programs and award CE credit for CPD efforts.

CPD: Empowering Pharmacists in Their Learning Journey

CPD puts pharmacists in command of their own learning!

 

How It Works

The CPD process involves a cycle of learning that begins with reflecting on one's career, knowledge, and areas for improvement. Next, pharmacists plan their professional development, setting goals for improvement in their practice, themselves, and the profession, while articulating specific steps and actions to achieve these individual goals. Then, pharmacists execute their learning plan and apply and evaluate their professional development over a set timeframe. To earn credit, pharmacists work through this learning cycle and document their progress as they go along. The results and impact of CPD depend on the individual and the effort they invest. The role of the CPD Provider (UT Austin College of Pharmacy) is to offer a structure and documentation to help guide and coach pharmacists through their individual CPD plans.

 

UT Austin's CPD Approach: CPD Retreats

As one of the first CPD Providers in the USA, The College of Pharmacy's Center for Continuing Professional Development aims to provide support and structure to make completing the CPD Cycle as easy as possible, allowing pharmacists to focus on their professional development. We are using a CPD Retreat structure approach, which integrates the CPD Cycle components into any conference or thematic program.

 

In this specific case, we are applying the CPD Cycle to the Annual Preceptor Conference. We do this by adding optional CPD Cycle components to the conference and coaching pharmacists through them during the event.

---

UT CPD Retreat Format

Pharmacists can complete a CPD Cycle through the following steps: 

 

REFLECTION (Pre-Event)

Before the live event, pharmacists will complete online surveys. For this program, these surveys are directly connected to the conference's overall theme.

 

PLAN (During the Event)

During the live event, pharmacists, whether attending in person or via live broadcast, will be guided to set personal goals. This includes articulating specific, targeted, and measurable first steps towards achieving these goals within six months and one year after the conference.

 

LEARN, APPLY, EVALUATE (Post-Event)

After the live event, and with their PLAN in hand, pharmacists will engage in their learning plan, apply what they've learned in practice, and evaluate its impact. To document this process and complete the CPD Cycle, pharmacists will return to the conference/event LMS site and complete follow-up surveys at the six-month and one-year marks.

 

DOCUMENT (Built into the Learning Management System/LMS)

One of the hallmarks of CPD is thorough documentation of your CPD Cycle. We facilitate this by recording each step through online surveys. This includes the reflection surveys completed before the event, a record of your goals set during the event, and the details of your learning, application, and evaluation activities after the event. All surveys you complete within our LMS will be accessible to you.

 

 GREEN TABS 

The CPD components are integrated into this program and are clearly identified by GREEN tabs. Each tab contains specific instructions on how to complete that particular part of the cycle.

 

EASY

Our primary goal is to provide a very simple structure so you can focus your time and energy on your personal and professional development. Each survey is straightforward and quick to complete. You can return to view, download, print, or even edit any survey as needed. We're committed to making it easy for you to complete the CPD components.

 

A completed CPD Cycle comes with 10 CE credits! It's a new way to earn your Continuing Education, but entirely on your terms!

What Counts for CPD

 

CPD Examples:

The goal of CPD is to guide pharmacists through their own self-determined continuing professional development process, with easy documentation along the way. Your plan and goals are completely up to you! 

 

Do What Already Works for YOU:

You know how you learn best. You can simply apply CPD to your existing learning habits! You likely already have resources you frequently consult for the latest information. All you need to do is articulate your current process within your CPD goals. You can earn CE credit for simply doing what already works best for you!

• Journal Updates: You might already read specific journals and sources regularly to stay current on the latest treatments. Set your CPD goals to get even more out of how you learn!
• Annual Conferences: Perhaps you already attend professional conferences or even volunteer for leadership roles with those groups. Set your CPD goals to enhance your learning at your annual conferences!
• Projects at Work: You may already be developing processes or collecting data to improve your work. Use your CPD goals as a plan to make measurable changes that enhance your current practice!
• Work-Life Balance: You might already have a process that helps you reduce stress and balance your work and personal life. You can set your CPD goals around activities that keep you balanced and ready to be the best pharmacist you can be!

 

Try Something New:

Many of us have practice, personal, and professional goals we want to achieve. You can align your CPD goals with these new aspirations and use CPD to outline specific steps for achieving fresh professional development.

• Something You’ve Always Wanted to Do…: Are there areas of practice or professional leadership you've always wanted to explore but haven't? Set a long-term goal and then outline the first action steps toward that goal in your CPD plan!
• Career Changes: Is there a career advancement or change you've wanted to make? Set your CPD goals to start working toward the career you truly desire!
• Taking Care of Yourself: Have you felt burned out, or feel like you're on that path? Set CPD goals to prioritize self-care and improve your work-life integration. You can set a CPD goal for new self-care routines or to expand on what you already do.
• Go for that Leadership Role: Have you always wanted to run for office in a professional organization? Set your CPD goals to begin your leadership journey!
• Improve Skills: Can you identify gaps in your skillsets for communication, leadership, use of technology, or any other healthcare-related skills? Use your CPD goals to set a path for learning and improvement!

Your CPD goals are yours! Make them count!

UT CPD Retreats and BPS

Completing a UT CPD Retreat counts towards your BPS recertification requirements! You can use your notes and documentation in a UT CPD retreat to upload to the MyBPS account. You can get all 10 credits just by completing the CPD cycle. For BPS recertification progress, activities must be self-reported into the board-certified pharmacist’s MyBPS account.

Pre-Program: CPD REFLECT - Emotional Intelligence Survey

   

CPD for Pharmacy CPD REFLECTION - Complete online reflection survey

---

FREE Emotional Intelligence Survey

 

The Global Emotional Intelligence Test uses 40 questions which are derived from, the Global EI Capability Assessment instrument, which contains 158 items. These are based on Goleman's four quadrant Emotional Intelligence Competency Model (2002). Click here for more details.  Short EI quizzes such as this are meant to be fun, and to give you a guide to which EI areas you are doing well in and those which perhaps you need to focus on for development.

Instructions for the FREE EI Test
This Test, is a forced-choice psychological test which requires you to choose one statement in each pair of statements that describes you best. For each pair of statements, select the statement that best applies to you. Do not over-analyse the questions, or try to think of "exceptions to the rule." Be spontaneous and choose the statement that comes closest to the way you are.

Occasionally there will be questions that ask you to make a close call between two choices. This is because the Test is trying to distinguish between specific areas. If a question is very close and you can’t decide which statement applies to you best, you can come back to it after you have completed the other questions.

The Test usually takes about 10 minutes to complete. At the end of the test, click on the Score Test button, and wait for the computer to generate an EI profile of your scores. If you have answered honestly and accurately, your scores will reflect your capability level within each of the EI quadrants.

THANKS! We cannot guarantee the accuracy of the results of this Test  — only that it can help you begin your journey of self-development!

Welcome to The University of Austin College of Pharmacy Continuing Professional Development (CPD)! 

 

Now that you've completed the two introductory surveys on your communication and goal setting, you will now reflect on your personal professional development on a broader scale. Our process encourages you to sharpen your focus on three key areas of your professional life:

• Practice: Your current and near-future professional endeavors.
• The Professional: You as a whole and the broader impact of your career.
• The Profession: Your opportunities to contribute back through involvement, research, mentorship, and organizational participation.

We champion this holistic approach because your professional development extends far beyond your daily tasks.

 

Think of our processes as a helpful framework, but feel empowered to customize them to your unique needs. These are your goals, and this is your educational toolkit to make them a reality!

 

Each module will present a task. To ace it (and snag those credits!), you'll complete online surveys designed to guide your thinking and document your journey. By thoughtfully engaging, you'll uncover valuable insights about your career trajectory, your motivations, and your aspirations – the perfect launchpad for meaningful and attainable goal setting. So, dive in and let's get those goals in motion!

 

A few friendly reminders for maximum benefit:

• Be Honest: It's all about your growth!
• Be Specific: Details lead to breakthroughs!
• Take Your Time: Let those insights marinate!

At the event, you will use this reflection as you develop your long-term plans and action items for the coming year. You can view your responses to this survey at any time, and you'll be able to print a copy later. What you share here, you will always be able to edit and review.

 

Learning Objectives: 

• Identify at least two specific areas of their pharmacy practice that require further development or knowledge acquisition.
• Evaluate their current professional development plan and identify opportunities for enhancement based on self-assessment and identified learning gaps.

 

Here's to your success! Do you have a burning question? Don't hesitate to email the UT Center for CPD at UTpharmacyCE@austin.utexas.edu – we're here to help you thrive!

CPD for Pharmacy CPD PLAN - Setting your SMART Objectives

Setting SMART Objectives Survey

 

Now that you've set some big, long-term goals, let's get started! Through CPD, you can earn CE credits for taking the initial steps toward each goal.

 

The UT Austin CPD Retreats include two check-in times: six months and one year after the event (see the tabs below).

 

Considering the goals you've set for yourself, what can you accomplish in the next six months? What about by this time next year? In this survey, you'll be asked to set specific SMART Objectives (actions) that you believe you can accomplish by your selected timelines. You can add up to two SMART Objectives per goal, or you can add more by explaining in the description text boxes.

 

---

What are SMART Objectives?
 

SMART objectives are  Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound actions you can take in the next six months and in one year to start moving toward your goal! Each element of the SMART framework plays a role in enhancing the effectiveness of professional development initiatives. 

• Specific: A well-defined goal outlines exactly what needs to be achieved, leaving no room for ambiguity. This clarity enables employees to focus their efforts on tasks that directly contribute to skill enhancement.
• Measurable: Measuring progress is essential for tracking the success of professional development efforts. By setting measurable goals, L&D leaders provide a tangible way for employees to gauge their advancements.
• Achievable: Goals that are challenging, yet attainable, motivate employees to stretch their capabilities. Balancing the difficulty of a goal with its achievability encourages continuous learning and effort.
• Relevant: Aligning goals with an individual's role, team objectives, and the organization's strategic direction ensures that professional development efforts are purposeful. This relevance generates meaningful contributions to both personal growth and the company's success.
• Time-Bound: Setting a deadline adds a sense of urgency and commitment to the goal. It instills a disciplined approach to skill improvement and prevents procrastination.

Embracing the SMART approach ensures that professional development efforts are well-structured, well-tracked, and ultimately yield valuable outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

• Develop SMART goals for continuing professional development (CPD) goals with accomplishments set for six months and one year timelines.
