Background:
Pharmaceutical education includes practice experiences to develop in students the competencies required to perform in community pharmacies. However, evidence on practice experiences in community pharmacies was not synthesized in a review.
Objective:
This scoping review aims to map, identify, characterize, and summarize the characteristics and outcomes of pharmacy practice experience programs in community pharmacy settings.
Methods:
A scoping review was conducted. MEDLINE (PubMed), Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched to identify relevant literature. Studies describing characteristics of pharmacy practice experience programs in community pharmacy settings or evaluating their outcomes were included. Studies were limited to those published from 1990 to 2024.
Results:
Fifty-one studies were included in the review. The papers were carried out in 19 different countries of the five continents. Most of the studies (56.9 %) included were published in the period 2016-2023. The most frequent design in the studies included was the quantitative (43.1 %), followed by mixed methods (27.5 %), and qualitative (25.5 %). There was heterogeneity across the globe in denominations of practice experiences. The findings suggested that these experiences impacted students' and preceptors' satisfaction, student's development of knowledge, skills, and attitudes, and improvements in community pharmacy.
Conclusions:
These findings can inform the design and performance of practice experience programs by faculty members and preceptors, guiding them in the selection of characteristics more suitable to the context of their educational institutions and practice sites.

Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
