Expanding physical assessment education in pharmacy curricula: A qualitative study to identify and implement high-value skills for clinical practice

Pharmacy professionals support the integration of advanced PA skills into undergraduate education, guided by pragmatic criteria. Implementation should be tailored to frequent, impactful, and feasible assessments. Further research is needed to evaluate the outcomes of PA training on pharmacists' confidence, skill development, and practice integration, and to distinguish core competencies from those suited for advanced practice.

Abstract

Pharmacy professionals support the integration of advanced PA skills into undergraduate education, guided by pragmatic criteria. Implementation should be tailored to frequent, impactful, and feasible assessments. Further research is needed to evaluate the outcomes of PA training on pharmacists' confidence, skill development, and practice integration, and to distinguish core competencies from those suited for advanced practice.
