AACP Argus Commission Forecast 2026

The 2025-2026 Argus Commission, comprised of the five previous AACP presidents and current AACP CEO and Executive Vice President, was charged by AACP President Robin Zavod, PhD, FAPhA, to develop this edition of the AACP Argus Commission Forecast. The intent of the Forecast is to provide substantive guidance to colleges and schools of pharmacy in their strategic, academic, and research planning and visioning. This third edition of the AACP Argus Commission Forecast offers insights into emerging trends that will impact colleges and schools of pharmacy and the profession of pharmacy, as a whole. The 2025-2026 Argus Commission is grateful to all who facilitated the process of creating a tool that will serve as a guiding light for the pharmacy academy going forward. It is important to note that the recommendations included in this Forecast are the opinions of the authors, meant to be provocative and encourage thoughtful discussion, but are not official policy statements of AACP or its Board of Directors.
