Preparing Practioners for the
21st Century: Addressing the Challenges
Twenty-four faculty/staff
and community-based faculty of the College of Pharmacy participated in the
"21st Century" program at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Lexington April
14-15, 2000. The conference was designed to provide a forum for dialogue between
on-campus faculty and community-based faculty, shaping and refining the
community-based educational experience. It addressed issues pertinent to the
education of health professions students in the community and issues of mutual
interest to community-based teaching faculty and campus-based faculty. The
conference was sponsored by the University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center,
Office of the Chancellor, and the Kentucky Area Health Education Center (AHEC).
