The Center for the Advancement of Pharmacy Education (CAPE) has released its 2013 Educational Outcomes, which aim to guide the evolving pharmacy curriculum. This document is the fourth iteration of CAPE's educational outcomes, following versions from 1992, 1998, and 2004. The 2013 outcomes were developed by an advisory panel of educators and practitioners and were revised to include four broad domains: Foundational Knowledge, Essentials for Practice and Care, Approach to Practice and Care, and Personal and Professional Development. Each domain is further divided into specific subdomains, with example learning objectives provided to help programs in curricular revision and assessment. The outcomes emphasize the importance of a strong scientific foundation, patient-centered care, effective problem-solving, interprofessional collaboration, and personal and professional growth. The document also highlights the need for pharmacists to function collaboratively as members of healthcare teams, advocate for patients, and demonstrate leadership and professionalism.The Center for the Advancement of Pharmacy Education (CAPE) has released its 2013 Educational Outcomes, which aim to guide the evolving pharmacy curriculum.
