Scoping review reveals improvements in knowledge and confidence from physical assessment training in pharmacy education, suggesting coordinated curricula are needed.

However, variability in training approaches and evaluation methods limits conclusions about overall educational value and durability. These findings support more coordinated curricula and clearer guidance for study designs to inform future implementation.
