Continuing Education Systems
University Pharmacotherapy Associates, LLC (UPA)
was founded as a continuing education organization. UPA was approved in 1989
as an independent entity by the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania's Department of Higher Education and
accredited by the Accreditation
Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) as an
approved provider of continuing education. As a
provider of continuing education, UPA complies
with the Criteria for Quality for continuing
pharmaceutical education programming.
UPA
has a national consortium of faculty, in various
specialties, dedicated to providing the highest
quality educational programs. Faculty members
are selected based upon their experience, reputation,
practice and ability to effectively communicate
a given topic. UPA utilizes a curricular-based
consensus approach in the design of all programming.
A
goal of UPA is to deliver excellence in continuing
education on a
national basis. These educational programs are
intended to develop the clinical skills and knowledge
base of practicing pharmacists. Programs are designed
to expand the pharmacist's role in patient care
and clinical decision-making. Pharmacists are
enabled to integrate clinical knowledge, evidence,
as well as pharmacoeconomics into practice. In
addition, the nationwide system continuously updates
participants through internet technology and targeted
newsletters.
