Experiential Education

It’s Critical: Professional Identity Formation in Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences

Monday, July 22, 2024
10:30 AM – 11:30 AM East Coast USA Time
Location: Hynes 207
CE: 1.00

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
  • Explain the importance of Professional Identity Formation in pharmacy education.
  • List examples of opportunities and activities that support Professional Identity Formation during Introductory Professional Pharmacy Experiences (IPPEs) at three different colleges of pharmacy.
  • Describe strategies to further PIF in IPPEs at one’s own institution.
Introductory pharmacy practice experiences (IPPE) are important to student pharmacist professional identity formation (PIF). This session for faculty with precepting responsibilities will highlight existing evidence related to critical events and influences for PIF in IPPEs that support learners in building their understanding of what it means to be a pharmacist. Strategies to foster PIF within the IPPE curriculum at three institutions will be discussed, with a focus on how these activities can be implemented elsewhere.
