The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) is developing a centralized application service for U.S. colleges and schools of pharmacy. The Pharmacy College Application Service, known as PharmCAS, will allow applicants to use a single application and one set of materials to apply to multiple Pharm.D. programs. The purpose of PharmCAS is to benefit AACP member institutions, applicants, and the AACP office in terms of facilitation of the admissions process, student recruitment, and data collection. Other health professions’ education associations have established centralized application services with proven success.
