Self-analysis in Pharmacy and Health Science practices: A case study of pharmacy institutions

Self-assessment (SA) is essential for a healthcare professional's ongoing growth and development, starting from their time as a student pharmacist and continuing throughout their professional career. The study examines the existing body of research on SA among students and practitioners and investigates the potential for enhancing this capacity in Pharmacy and Health Science. Despite the potential for improvement, learners and professionals still need help accurately assessing themselves. Until SA procedures improve, experts' evaluation of learners continues to be the primary method of testing abilities and knowledge. Although SA is crucial for lifelong learning, external evaluation is as critical for practitioners' ongoing professional growth.
