View Full Paper
KGKelley GreeneJAJustin AndradeRARhonda L. Altonen

Key Points

  • This review aims to explore the concept of professional identity formation (PIF) among pharmacy residents and compare it to pharmacy students.
  • Conducted a scoping review on existing literature about PIF in pharmacy education.
  • Identified gaps in understanding PIF specifically for pharmacy residents.
  • Analyzed the role of preceptors in the PIF process.
  • PIF in pharmacy residents shows significant overlap with findings in pharmacy students.
  • Limited understanding of PIF exists among pharmacy residents compared to students.
  • Identified a need for improved faculty development and preceptor training programs.

Abstract

This scoping review provides an initial overview of PIF in pharmacy residents, much of which overlaps with what is known about pharmacy students. Given the limited familiarity with PIF and the critical role of preceptors in this process, faculty development and preceptor training remain key areas for growth. Future research focusing specifically on pharmacy residents and their process of PIF is needed.
