Abstract:
Understanding or experience with contemporary practice opportunities, including engagement with research design, are crucial elements of student pharmacist professional development as identified within the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education Standards 2025. Research experience promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skill development while contributing to professional identity formation. However, multiple barriers to entry may lead student pharmacists to feel underprepared to participate in research and scholarly activities. In this commentary, the authors implore schools and colleges of pharmacy to consider creative, intentional curricular approaches, including structured research pathways, to foster an organization culture and environment that supports and enhances research opportunities for student pharmacists.
