Objective:
The purpose of this study is to report and analyze data collected from a comprehensive student academic success survey conducted by the 2022-2023 Student Affairs Committee of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy that identifies important intrinsic and environmental factors affecting student academic success in PharmD programs.
Methods:
A comprehensive survey developed and conducted by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy 2022-2023 Student Affairs Committee investigated 61 items related to student success across PharmD programs. Data relating to student success are presented.
Results:
The survey results reveal several critical factors negatively impacting student success in pharmacy education. Ineffective study and time management strategies emerged as the most prevalent barrier, followed closely by academic preparation, mental health concerns, work responsibilities, and financial hardships. Additionally, a significant number of programs report that program costs negatively influence student academic success. Programs also highlight the significant positive impact of cocurricular activities, internships, and fostering a sense of student belonging on academic success.
Conclusion:
This research provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between the internal and external challenges faced by student pharmacists across the Academy. The survey results emphasize the need for administrators, faculty, and staff to collaborate in minimizing barriers to student learning and success within our programs. Further research is recommended to explore the evolving impact of external disruptions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, on educational outcomes in pharmacy education.
