A timely and thought-provoking article by Dr. Caroline Sierra, LLUSP's Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, was recently published in the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education (AJPE)! Read "To Stay or To Go? Debate Regarding US News and World Report Pharmacy Program Rankings."
The article stems from the Academic Leadership Fellows Program and explores the ongoing debate over pharmacy schools' participation in the US News and World Report ranking system. The paper summarizes evidence from both peer-reviewed and lay sources, identifies key benefits and limitations of the current ranking process, and offers concrete recommendations for future reforms.
Congratulations to Dr. Sierra and her co-authors for their scholarship and contribution to an important national conversation in academic pharmacy.
