Pharmacy Education Research
The Pharmacy and Health Professions Education group brings together a collaborative and interdisciplinary community of faculty members dedicated to advancing pharmacy and health professions education. Our research focuses on enhancing teaching, learning, and assessment practices, as well as examining the functioning of pharmacy training programs across diverse contexts. We aim to generate rigorous, practice-informed evidence that shapes curriculum design, improves educational outcomes, and supports the development of competent, compassionate, and practice-ready health care professionals.
Our areas of expertise include:
- Adaptive expertise
- Professional identity formation
- Pharmacist role negotiation
- Professional socialization
- Interprofessional education
- Programmatic assessment
- Curriculum design
- Competency-based education
Through our work, we are helping to shape the future of pharmacy and health professions education in Canada and beyond.
