    The gap between basic scientists and clinical practitioners stems from differing views on knowledge acquisition. Adopting an instrumentalist epistemology can enhance pharmacy education and clinical practice.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacy Education
    • Epistemology
    • Clinical Practice

    Background:

    • A perceived disconnect exists between basic science research and clinical practice in pharmacy.
    • This gap is often rooted in differing philosophical viewpoints regarding the nature and acquisition of knowledge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the epistemological underpinnings of the divide between basic scientists and clinical practitioners.
    • To propose an epistemological framework to bridge this gap in pharmacy education.
    • To discuss implications for undergraduate, graduate, and continuing pharmacy education.

    Main Methods:

    • Philosophical analysis of epistemological perspectives in science and clinical practice.
    • Literature review on epistemology and pharmacy education.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Conceptual framework development based on instrumentalist epistemology.

    • Main Results:

    • The disparity originates from distinct epistemological persuasions concerning knowledge and its acquisition.
    • Instrumentalist epistemology offers a viable framework for integrating basic science and clinical practice.
    • Current pharmacy curricula may not adequately align with clinical practice's epistemological needs.

    Conclusions:

    • Addressing the epistemological gap is crucial for effective pharmacy education.
    • Instrumentalist epistemology provides a foundation for curriculum reform in pharmacy.
    • Specific curricular adjustments are necessary to improve the alignment between epistemology and clinical instruction for better therapeutic outcomes.
