Introduction: Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education Standards require reasonable accommodation for students with disabilities in an educational setting. There is limited information regarding preceptor experiences and perspectives associated with accommodations in the pharmacy experiential learning environment. This study examined preceptor experiences and viewpoints and explored opportunities for schools/colleges of pharmacy (S/COP) to provide support and education for preceptors when meeting access needs.

- A toolkit approach for integrating behavioral health services into primary care has shown some improvements in integration but not in patient-reported outcomes.
- The evaluation of the toolkit's implementation revealed high acceptability among providers and staff, with 74% openness to its use and positive matches to practice needs.
- However, notable gaps in feasibility and fidelity were observed, indicating that while practices supported the toolkit's use, actual implementation challenges remain significant.
We analyzed invasive group A streptococcal puerperal sepsis cases in a large health zone in Alberta, Canada between 2013 and 2022. Of the 21 cases, 85.7% were adjudicated as hospital/delivery-acquired, with 2 clusters having identical isolates found through whole genome sequencing.

Methods: The study randomly assigned second-year pharmacy students to one of three retrieval practice groups: (1) two retrieval practice assessments (2 and 4 months after the course), (2) one retrieval practice assessment (4 months after the course), or (3) no retrieval practice.

Including students with disabilities enhances program diversity and contributes to awareness and understanding of disability. Barriers to embracing disability include stigma toward disability, insufficient resource allocation, and misunderstanding of accommodations.
