The 5 Voices assessment helps pharmacy students understand their team contributions. A significant number of Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) students identified as "nurturer," highlighting the importance of diverse team roles.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Leadership Development
- Team Dynamics
Background:
- Leadership development assessments are vital for student pharmacists.
- Understanding team strategies is crucial for effective pharmacy practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the implementation of the 5 Voices assessment in Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) programs.
- To explore student pharmacists' understanding of their team contributions through the 5 Voices tool.
Main Methods:
- The 5 Voices tool was integrated into the leadership curriculum at two colleges of pharmacy.
- The assessment was administered to second-year PharmD students in required and elective courses.
Main Results:
- Data from 456 PharmD students were analyzed.
- Nearly half (49.1%) of students identified 'nurturer' as their primary voice.
- No significant differences in voice distribution were observed between the two institutions.
Conclusions:
- The 5 Voices assessment enhances student pharmacists' self-awareness regarding team roles.
- Recognizing the prevalence of the 'nurturer' voice can foster appreciation for other essential team roles, aiding team development.
