Abstrakt: Pharmacy education faces an upcoming revision of accreditation standards designed to outline degree program requirements for training the next generation of pharmacists. At the same time, pharmacy educators are increasingly expected to integrate multiple other educational frameworks and recommendations from distinct groups into their curricula. With this list of expectations constantly expanding and changing, education leaders are forced to spend valuable time and resources trying to satisfy "checklists" instead of enhancing their programs. The following commentary discusses concerns about the growing complexity of the standards and frameworks used in the accreditation process, overlap and redundancy in these various requirements, and relevant comparisons between pharmacy and medical education. We outline recommendations regarding purposeful integration of frameworks with the goal of simplifying accreditation requirements and enhancing program flexibility to deliver innovative, high-quality curricula.
