The Institute for Inclusive Excellence (formerly known as the EDI Institute), will be held virtually on April 2-4, 2025. The program is designed to support colleges/schools, faculty, administrators and others that are involved in the education of healthcare professionals with their efforts related to leveraging differences in thoughts, backgrounds, perspectives and experiences, while fostering and serving inclusive communities. The 2025 iteration of this institute will focus on the theme "Building a Resilient Future for Health Parity". Institutional teams will have the opportunity to collaborate with faculty and staff across the Academy and from their own institution to create implementation plans to further their efforts.
Institute Objectives
- Identify ways to dismantle systemic bias, overcome organizational inertia and institutional resistance, and enhance the perceived value of inclusive excellence.
- Identify restorative justice practices to manage conflict resolution and address low psychological safety by integrating models and frameworks to foster equitable and collaborative resolutions.
- Examine the impact of bias on professional identity formation among marginalized identities, highlighting actionable strategies to foster equity in professional identity formation and professional environments.
- Construct student support strategies in pharmacy education settings (didactic and experiential) that address the needs of individuals with disabilities, religious practices, and other factors, ensuring equity, and promotion of inclusive learning environments.
- Describe approaches to support individuals in pursuing career pathways that advance health parity.
Highlights Include:
- Engaging and Knowledgeable Speakers – Learn from experts in inclusive excellence and healthcare education.
- Peer Networking Opportunities – Exchange ideas and insights with professionals from across the academy during “Mixed Team Time” sessions.
- Ample Collaboration Time – Collaborate and connect with colleagues from your own institution to apply insights to real challenges via built-in “Home Team Time”.
Interactive and Practical Sessions – Gain actionable strategies to foster inclusive learning environments. - Flexible Virtual Format – Join from anywhere via AACP Learn and participate in dynamic discussions.
Who Should Attend?
AACP encourages any faculty member, administrator, or staff person at an institution with a pharmacy college or school to attend. Regardless of attendance at an EDI Institute in the past, we encourage you to attend this event. There will be a special student rate, and we encourage teams to include the perspectives of students!
Registration Information
Prior to registering, team composition should be determined, and schools/colleges can register all team members at the same time. The team maximum is 10 individuals per team. One person from the team or school can register the entire team via the online registration page. If individuals need to register and pay separately, the AACP staff will make sure that they are added to their school’s team. If a school is unable to send a full team, individuals may still register for the institute using the online form.
Register Now
Registration for the IE Institute will close on March 26, 2025 or when space is no longer available. Registration for the EDI Institute has sold out in past years, so AACP encourages individuals to register early.
