Community pharmacy is currently experiencing significant changes that will likely transform practice in unpredictable ways. With student interest in pursuing community pharmacy practice postgraduation on the decline, the Academy needs to ensure that a sufficient number of students passionate in community practice enter the workforce to guide this transformation in a positive manner for the profession and patients. This commentary reviews the ways that pharmacy faculty may promote community pharmacy during the students' academic experiences. These include being mindful of the messages we send our students, promotion of community pharmacy postgraduate training, optimization of community-focused adjunct faculty relationships, and reviewing curricula to ensure contemporary community aspects.
