Student Identification of Medically Underserved Populations During a First-Year Community Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experience

Most P1 students on their community IPPE identified a medically underserved population, described barriers to care, and listed ways pharmacists can mitigate these barriers. By engaging in this activity with authentic practice-based exposure early in the curriculum, students may be able to perform abstract conceptualization and make connections from classroom to practice to better care for medically underserved populations in the future.
