Deans Forum: The New Role of Academia in Drug Discovery and Development—New Thinking, New Competencies, New Results

In 2006, the University of Kansas made a commitment to establish a translational research enterprise to support its research mission. This enterprise, the Institute for Advancing Medical Innovation (IAMI), conducts product development-focused translational research to translate laboratory and bedside discoveries into medical innovations that benefit patients. The one constant over the past twelve years has been that IAMI has continually evolved, refining its strategies and processes to adapt to changing needs and priorities of the institutions it supports, to achieve results.

At the completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

  1. Describe challenges associated with building a product development-focused translational research enterprise in an academic setting.
  2. Recognize the importance of product development-focused translational research in supporting the Kansas City region’s research priorities including community-based, matrix clinical and translational science award (CTSA) and NCI-designated cancer centers.

Leading Persuasively During Crisis

Leaders are called on to offer insight and assistance in a variety of settings, but in no setting is good leadership more important than in the midst of crisis. Good leaders know how to share their ideas not only with a friendly audience, but also in the company of skeptics or critics. And those who wish to become leaders recognize that their performance in crisis may often open the door to additional leadership opportunities. In this interactive session, attendees will explore some of the tools of persuasion leaders should develop to make them more effective in crisis. Specifically, the persuasion of different audiences in crisis management, including in a legal crisis, will be addressed. Attendees will also discuss how criticism and feedback can be an effective leadership tool. And finally, the group will evaluate how to use persuasive language to gain leadership credibility even if you lack explicit authority amongst the crisis management team.

At the completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

  1. Identify tools for persuasion in crisis settings.
  2. Assess the role of critical feedback for an academic leadership team.
  3. Analyze the unique types of crisis communication that is persuasive to different audiences.

Increasing Work-Life Balance + Harmony

Managing it all is difficult: work, friends, family, self-care.

Council of Faculties Forum

This year’s COF Forum is dedicated to two critical issues that impact faculty at colleges/schools of pharmacy: shared governance and metrics to measure faculty performance. The COF Faculty Affairs committee is conducting an environmental scan to describe shared governance at colleges/schools of pharmacy, what rights and privileges faculty enjoy, and what differences exist between faculty based on appointment tract. The COF Rules and Resolutions Committee has formulated an AACP policy statement regarding the development and use of metrics—both productivity and quality metrics—to measure the practice-related activities of pharmacy faculty. Join the COF Administrative Board to discuss these important issues and help us shape the agenda for next year’s COF committees.

Self-governance is a cornerstone of academic institutions but it is unclear what rights faculty have and whether all faculty are equally represented. The Council of Facilities (COF) Faculty Affairs Committee was charged to explore issues related to faculty governance and identify best practices. During this presentation, Daniel Kennedy—the COF Faculty Affairs Committee Chair—will present the preliminary findings from the COF Faculty Governance survey as well as a review of the pharmacy and health professions literature to begin identifying best practices, common challenges, and potential solutions related to faculty governance.

Administrative and Financial Officers (AFO) SIG Program

Tuesday, February 27

Hyatt Regency Long Beach: Seaview AB, Lower Level, First Floor

Fee: $265; $75 with a full INterim Meeting registration. Pre-registration required; registration includes lunch, two beverage breaks, and Tuesday morning’s sessions.

The Administrative and Financial Officers (AFO) SIG program is designed for administrative and financial officers, as well as other AACP participants interested in key administrative issues that influence the operations of colleges of pharmacy. This half-day program will provide participants with the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions regarding Development/Fundraising, Diversity and Inclusion, other areas of responsibility within the Finance and Administration role, as well as hot topics in the world of operations. Additionally, there are two panel discussions offered regarding “Measuring Outcomes of Strategic Plans” and “Reflections of a New Dean.”

11:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m.

Lunch and Roundtable

Despite the different types of schools and programs we all come from, each of us face similar challenges in the administrative and financial arenas. These breakout sessions will give each individual an opportunity to network and engage with other administrative colleagues to discuss issues that impact all of us. Due to the limited amount of time, the lunch/breakout session provides a round-robin opportunity to focus on these pressing issues.

Table Topics: 1. Development and Fundraising; 2. Enhancing Diversity & Inclusion; 3. Discuss Other Areas of AFO responsibility.

1:00 p.m.–2:30 p.m.

Panel Discussion: Strategic Plans: Developing, Measuring Success and Data Tools

During 2016, all pharmacy schools transitioned from applying ACPE’s Standards 2007 to applying Standards 2016 to their programs. Accreditation of professional degree programs in pharmacy provides a national basis for quality assurance. ACPE expects that programs will exceed the standards through initiatives to ensure continuous quality improvement documented in their own strategic plans. The program is intended for individuals to understand why we assess our own strategic plans, what metrics are related to the new ACPE Standards 2016, and learn what other units are doing to meet the new requirements. The audience will also engage with presenters on ways to evaluate and review existing strategic plan metrics within their college, ways of engaging stakeholders in the process, and an opportunity to learn and discuss available tools for presenting and evaluating metrics.

Large Group Panel Discussion: Reflections of a New Dean—What Did I Know? What Didn’t I Know? And What Should I Have Known?

As faculty consider opportunities and think about becoming a dean of a school of pharmacy, this presentation provides an opportunity to hear from new deans who have recently made that transition. This presentation is intended to be interactive to allow participants to engage with these “new” deans and learn what had they wished they had known before starting the position, what they learned they didn’t know, and reflecting on what they should have known. The purpose of this program is two-fold: one, provide faculty an understanding of the challenges and opportunities of becoming a dean and two, provide administrators insight on how to prepare for future transitions.
