Our Approach

ADVANCE leverages an easy-to-understand, cyclical process that simplifies and structures the creation of a professional development plan unique to each individual user.

ADVANCE takes each user through a five step process that builds upon ACPE’s Guidance on Continuing Professional Development, the FIP Statement on Professional Standards for Continuing Professional Development, and CCP’s Resource Document for Continuing Professional Development in Pharmacy. ADVANCE® then uses intelligent analysis tools to recommend activities that meet each user’s goals, build on evaluation results, and ensure completion of professional requirements. Users are then able to refine the plan, track progress, and apply what they have learned.

Each plan is designed to be accomplished in one year, which makes goals and professional development more achievable.

  • Step 1 - Evaluate

    Be guided through the collection of important data, summarize your professional accomplishments and attributes, and interpret the information to serve as the foundation for your professional development plan.

  • Step 2 - Analyze

    Examine the meaning of the information you have compiled and use this information to establish your SMART goals.

  • Step 3 - Plan

    Create a detailed action plan by selecting activities and experiences that will help you achieve your goals.

  • Step 4 - Do

    Engage in activities and experiences to help you grow and develop while tracking your progress every step of the way. Organize your virtual “to-do” list to help keep you on track!

  • Step 5 - Apply

    Apply everything you have learned, reflect on the impact of your experiences on your professional development and growth, and make updates to your plan.

Created by the American Pharmacists Association, ADVANCE is a continuous professional development planner and workforce development tool. It utilizes self-evaluation to provide intelligent recommendations for activities that will move individuals toward their goals while also meeting their licensure, employer, and school requirements.
