“…Considering the heightened risk of infection and increased susceptibility to mental health challenges among pharmacists during the COVID-19 pandemic [23,24], the implemented HRM policies and strategies were primarily aimed at enhancing pharmacist workplace safety and well-being. Consequently, discussions and assessments within pharmacy programs increasingly focus on topics related to pharmacist workload, burnout, well-being, and their impact on patient safety [25][26][27].…”

(1) Background: This study aims to examine pharmacy students’ perceptions of their knowledge and competencies in human resource management (HRM) while also investigating their attitudes toward the educational content provided in a didactic HRM course. (2) Methods: A survey evaluating both course knowledge (pre and post) and attitudes was administered to students enrolled in an HRM class. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and measures of associations. (3) Results: All 98 course enrollees completed the survey (N = 98), revealing statistically significant knowledge growth across HRM topics from pre- to post-survey (p < 0.05). Notably, emotional intelligence, workforce diversity, conflict resolution, and recruitment strategies exhibited the most substantial increases. The expert panel session proved highly effective, with 71% reporting it as the most knowledge-enhancing activity. “Global and cultural effectiveness” emerged as the most valued competency, reflecting a positive overall attitude towards HRM. (4) Conclusions: HRM competency is one of the most fundamental skills for pharmacists, as many problems faced by pharmacy organizations and their solutions stem from the workforce. Pharmacy schools should therefore assess their curriculum to ensure that HRM is adequately addressed to meet accreditation standards and to prepare students to navigate HRM challenges in their workplaces post-graduation.

“…The content in FLOURISH covers 10 topics and was decided by a combination of survey and overview articles in the literature including the work described in Baldwin et al (2017) , Beauchemin et al (2018) , Holman et al (2021) , Lee Wai Sum (2021) , Lenstra (2020) , and Ward et al (2022) , input from the subject experts in our University, and feedback from students and others obtained in the background research leading to our pilot course. In selecting the 10 topics we tried to cover as many as we could of the wellness factors described in Baldwin et al (2017) and we have addressed the physical, social, and occupational although not the emotional or intellectual.…”

Many universities have wellness programs to promote overall health and well-being. Using students’ own personal data as part of improving their own wellness would seem to be a natural fit given that most university students are already data and information literate. In this work, we aim to show how the interplay between health literacy and data literacy can be used and taught together. The method we use is the development and delivery of the FLOURISH module, an accredited, online-only but extra-curricular course that delivers practical tips in the areas that impact students’ everyday wellness including sleep, nutrition, work habits, procrastination, relationships with others, physical activity, positive psychology, critical thinking, and more. For most of these topics, students gather personal data related to the topic and submit an analysis of their data for assessment thus demonstrating how students can use their personal data for their benefit. More than 350 students have taken the module and an analysis of the use of online resources, as well as feedback on the module experience, are presented. The contributions of this article are to further endorse the need for health literacy and digital literacy for students, and we demonstrate that these can be taught together making each literacy more appealing to the digital natives of Generation Z who make up the majority of students. The implications for public health research and practice are that two student literacies, health and digital, are not independent and for our students, they should be taught together.
