Union University’s School of Pharmacy has been awarded “candidate status” by the Accreditation Council of Pharmacy Education, a major milestone on the journey to achieving full accreditation upon graduation of the first class of students in 2012.

“This is an extremely important step in the pharmacy school accreditation process,” said Sheila Mitchell, founding dean of Union’s School of Pharmacy. “Graduates of a class designated as having candidate status have the same rights and privileges as graduates of an accredited program.”

An ACPE representative notified Mitchell of the decision June 29 following the annual ACPE board meeting. Mitchell said the ACPE representative told her that a plan for pharmacy education “doesn’t get any better than this.” (FULL STORY)
