History of CAPSLEAD CALIFORNIA PHARMACY STUDENT LEADERSHIP Beginnings Administration Participation Development Original Sponsorship Involvement Why CAPSLEAD? (this is a leader to Nancy s part) Co-Curricular Leadership Development California Pharmacy Schools California Pharmacy Schools Leadership Development Program (CAPSLEAD) Team 2
Establishing the Need Many thought leaders have highlighted the gap in leadership competency within pharmacy Misconception that leadership means management Big L = directors, managers, supervisors Little l = all pharmacists (Sara White in the 2006 Harvey AK Whitney Award Lecture) Why isn t there more? Leadership skills are best learned through simulation and role play Time constraints Resources available Faculty struggle with evaluation of leadership skills Easier to evaluate the therapeutic content Everyone can t lead simultaneously in a group setting Required versus Extracurricular Required exposure for all students through: Didactic team learning exercises Extracurricular exposure for some students through: Mentoring relationships Participation in professional association meetings and activities Community outreach and service learning activities 3
Why CAPSLEAD? The California schools and colleges of pharmacy recognized the need for leadership training Built a program that would identify potential leaders early on in their pharmacy studies The program provides formal leadership training along with a year long project that forces students to practice the skills they have learned CAPSLEAD Objectives CAPSLEAD Objectives Inspire and promote student pharmacist leadership Develop leadership competency through an organized program Create a environment of collaboration across California schools of pharmacy Identify potential student pharmacist leaders 4
