Summary
This summary is machine-generated.This review analyzes social, administrative, and behavioral sciences (SAS) content in pharmacy education to improve curriculum integration. Findings guide faculty in enhancing SAS teaching and assessment for future pharmacists.
Area Of Science
- Pharmacy Education
- Social, Administrative, and Behavioral Sciences (SAS)
Background
- Current pharmacy curricula require enhanced integration of SAS content.
- Recent guidelines (Curricular Outcomes and Entrustable Professional Activities 2022, Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education Standards 2025) necessitate curriculum revision.
Purpose Of The Study
- To analyze SAS conceptual topics, applied content, teaching strategies, and assessment methods in pharmacy education.
- To identify opportunities for improving the adoption of Curricular Outcomes and Entrustable Professional Activities 2022.
- To provide recommendations for curriculum and assessment planning.
Main Methods
- Integrative review of SAS-related syllabi from the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy Connect repository (n=69).
- Systematic search of pharmacy education literature (n=296 publications).
Main Results
- Most SAS literature is from the didactic setting, indicating potential for experiential, cocurricular, and interprofessional application.
- Valuable insights and examples regarding SAS content, teaching strategies, and assessment methods were identified.
- A practical framework is offered for programs and faculty to enhance SAS integration.
Conclusions
- Programs and faculty must revise SAS content delivery and assessment in line with new accreditation standards.
- Intentional integration of SAS knowledge, skills, and attitudes is crucial for developing competent, person-centered pharmacists.
- Collaborative efforts are needed to equip pharmacists for complex healthcare environments.

Biopsychology serves as a vital bridge connecting the intricate domains of biology and psychology, shedding light on how biological systems influence psychological phenomena. This field scrutinizes the biological substrates of behavior and mental processes, emphasizing the nervous system along with the roles of neurotransmitters, hormones, and genetics. It also incorporates evolutionary perspectives to explain the adaptive nature of mental functions.

Psychology explores human behavior and mental processes through various lenses, each offering unique insights. This overview examines key subfields, including biopsychology, evolutionary, developmental, personality, and social psychology, highlighting their approaches and contributions to understanding complex human behaviors.

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments...
Psychology is the scientific discipline dedicated to understanding both observable behavior and the internal mental processes underlying such behavior. It aims to comprehend human nature and apply this understanding to solve practical problems, enhance well-being, and improve societal outcomes. An example of psychology's application is the study of prosocial behavior, such as why and under what conditions individuals might help strangers in need. This process involves describing observed...
In psychology, concepts can be divided into two categories: natural and artificial. Natural concepts are formed through direct or indirect experiences. For example, consider the concept of snow. If you live in a place with regular snowfall, such as Essex Junction, Vermont, you know snow through direct experiences. You’ve seen it fall, touched it, shoveled it, and played in it. You recognize its texture, appearance, and even its smell. In contrast, if you live on an island like Saint...
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...
