Rachel Allen received her PharmD degree from the University of Washington where she received the UW Foster School of Business Certificate in Pharmacy Management. She was the first PGY1 resident at University of Washington and Bartell Drugs, a local and family-owned community pharmacy chain.

Currently, Rachel is the Assistant Dean of Professional Affairs & Practice, Co-Director of the Center for Pharmacy Practice Transformation, and co-course director for the PY2 Pharmacist Provider Course series. Her scholarship focuses on curricular design and assessment of skills development and experiential education. Areas of emphasis include bridging skills and experiential education through EPA-based assessment approaches to foster competency-based education, practice transformation, professional identity development; and communication skill development.

Rachel has been engaged with Experiential Education for 10 years. She was instrumental in the collaborative design and implementation of a longitudinal course series, called Wednesdays in Practice that focuses on pharmacy practice readiness. The Wednesdays in Practice series includes skills coursework, a 6-month long longitudinal IPPE in different settings for PY1 and PY2 and traditional IPPEs. The University of Washington implemented an EPA-based assessment approach for early learners in 2019 and for advanced learners in 2022.
