Mission, Vision, Values and Goals

The mission of the Office of Experiential Education (OEE) is to provide students with high-quality pharmacy practice experiences that allow them to provide patient-centered care to diverse populations in a dynamic and changing health care system. 

Our vision is to develop pharmacists who are caring, empathetic, ethical practitioners who provide excellent patient care and distinguish themselves, the profession, and the ULM College of Pharmacy.

The strategic decisions and daily operations of the Office of Experiential Education will be reflective of the following values:

• Integrity and honor
• Diversity and respect for all individuals
• Selfless service to our patients, profession, and community
• Empathetic, ethical and quality patient care delivery
• Intellectual excellence through continuous professional development and life-long learning

In addition to the values stated above, we have set the following goals:

• Promote the mission of the College by identifying, developing and utilizing innovative and inter-professional practice sites throughout the state of Louisiana.
• Reinforce the knowledge, skills, attitudes, abilities, and behaviors learned in the classroom and laboratory settings.
• Expose students to common contemporary U.S. practice models that increase in complexity as the students mature in their knowledge, skills, attitudes, abilities and behaviors.
• Develop pharmacy practice experiences that prepare our students to be both “practice-ready” and “team-ready” by providing direct patient care while working in collaboration with other health care providers.
• Create innovative learning opportunities using technology to provide preceptor education and development.
• Endorse a high level of competence and continuous professional development of our preceptors through preceptor development, assessment, and collaboration.
• Use technology to assess student professionalism, documentation of drug-related problem interventions, exposure to population health issues and continued development of professional competencies.

Collect and evaluate data and make changes as needed to maintain a standards and outcome driven assessment program for the OEE.
