What is ACPEs relationship with the Canadian Council for the Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs (CCAPP)?
ACPE enjoys close collaboration with its Canadian counterpart agency, CCAPP. ACPE provided assistance and advice when CCAPP was established, and CCAPP standards were modeled on ACPE standards. As discussed elsewhere in this section, in June 2002, the ACPE Board of Directors voted to recognize the accreditation decisions of CCAPP from 1993 – the date of CCAPP’s founding – through June 30, 2004, the date of expiry of ACPE’s baccalaureate standards. In October 2002, ACPE and CCAPP signed a Memorandum of Understanding (pdf, 180 KB), signifying their desire to collaborate more closely in areas of mutual interest. In line with the decision to adopt the PharmD as the sole accredited professional degree in the US, in June 2004, the ACPE Board resolved not to extend the recognition of the CCAPP accreditation decisions beyond June 30, 2004.
