@joeymattingly @AACPharmacy @DrJeffCain No doubt lots of consequences for students, schools and others. To @DrJeffCain point hard to experimentally tease out. My guess schools will start to develop their own admissions test to assess some basic skills

@BJDSOP_ADAA It also assumes that higher grades means better learning.

[AACP @AACPharmacy]

"An introvert, his first lecture terrified him. 'I never sweated more in my life—but it wasn’t terrible.'

Over time, teaching became a passion. 'I got to know the students…I got to talk about stuff I really loved talking about."

@UNCPharmacy sits down with @AdamPersky, recipient of the 2023 AACP Robert K. Chalmers Distinguished Pharmacy Educator Award, to better get to know the expert. https://t.co/PvNwa8Vzwe
