Core pillars include a PharmD NAPLEX strategy, use of PCOA (Pharmacy Curriculum Outcomes Assessment) as a standardized third-year predictor, and post-course remediation for eligible learners. The plan summarizes admissions and student success best practices, highlights institutional PCOA score trends and major curriculum-related changes, and presents remediation case studies (Pre-APPE Skills & Lab and Patient Care II) showing improved course pass rates.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/","Healthcare",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/licensure-pass-rate-improvement-plan-update-doctor-of-pharmacy-pharmd-program/294321/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/licensure-pass-rate-improvement-plan-update-doctor-of-pharmacy-pharmd-program/294321.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Finn","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-22","2026-09-17",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",11,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What is the primary PASS NAPLEX target and how is progress measured?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"The plan sets a PASS NAPLEX goal of 90–95% and uses PCOA results and trends (including improvement in nationwide rank) to track performance leading toward licensure success.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"What role does PCOA play in the program’s licensure preparation?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"PCOA is a standardized, 200-item cumulative exam administered in the third year (P3) to predict licensure performance and compare results with national trends.",{"name":70,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":71},"How does post-course remediation help learners who are at risk?",{"text":72,"@type":64},"Post-course remediation provides eligible learners with one final opportunity to pass, and the included case studies show higher course pass rates for students completing remediation.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":32,"og:type":75,"og:title":10,"og:site_name":45,"og:description":12},"article",{"robots":77,"canonical":32},"index,follow",{"doc_id":79,"site_id":7},294321,1789682363,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":83},"success",[84,88,92,96,101,106,110,115,120,123,127],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":85,"show_sort_weight":86,"slug":87},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":89,"show_sort_weight":90,"slug":91},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":93,"show_sort_weight":94,"slug":95},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":97,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":98,"show_sort_weight":99,"slug":100},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":102,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":103,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":105},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":107,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":108,"slug":109},7,40,"healthcare",{"id":111,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":112,"show_sort_weight":113,"slug":114},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":116,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":117,"show_sort_weight":118,"slug":119},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":121,"show_sort_weight":118,"slug":122},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":124,"slug":126},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":128,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":130},19,"General","general",{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":132},{"doc_id":79,"user_id":133,"nickname":42,"user_avatar":134,"doc_module":4,"category_id":107,"category_name":29,"doc_title":10,"doc_description":12,"doc_content":135,"file_id":136,"file_url":137,"file_type":138,"file_size":139,"view_count":55,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":22,"is_downloadable":22,"audit_status":22,"page_count":124,"language":140,"language_code":8,"site_id":7,"html_lang":8,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":12,"update_tm":80,"read_time":144},34359740700684,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/1f400023980c374ae676?_k=1777273430885731487","Licensure Pass Rate Improvement Plan Update  \nDoctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) Program  \nJohnnie L.

 \nLicensure Exam:  \n• 2020 NAPLEX scores expected in February  \n4  \nStudent Success Best Practices   \nHigh-stakes assessments (PCOA) and post-course remediation are two key strategies used by the College to assist learners in preparing for the pharmacy licensure exam .  \nPharmacy Curriculum Outcomes Assessment (PCOA)  \n• Created by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP)  \n• Standardized exam administered in the third year (P3) as a cumulative assessment of the didactic curriculum  \n• 200-item exam covering content in four areas  \n• Serves as a predictor of performance on the licensure exam  \n• Provides a comparison with national trends  \nPost-Course Remediation  \n• Permits one final opportunity for eligible learners to pass a course  \nPCOA Results  \nInstitutional PCOA Scores PCOA Percentile  \nØ Historical trend: Our average learner score has been below the nationwide average, but above the goal of being within two standard deviations of the mean as suggested by NABP in their \"PCOA for Administrators\" guidance  \nØ Importance: Performance on the exam is a strong predictor of licensure success while additionally assessing the quality of curriculum content and delivery in the targeted concept areas  \nØ Improvement: The left graph shows a relatively upward trend in the FAMU learners' raw scores while the right shows the improvement in our nationwide rank among all accredited pharmacy programs  \nØ Major changes: The growth in 2020 can be attributed to several factors including: the revised PharmD 2017 curriculum, adding internal stakes to the PCOA by including it as an exam grade in the Pre-APPE readiness course, and moving the administration of the exam up to January instead of continuing to offer it during finals week of
