Strategies to engage pharmacy students and residents in worksite-based health and wellness programs

The Value of Pharmacy Residency Training for Health Systems

“…Bird et al, 2012 35 Review A college of pharmacy and medical center created a mutually beneficial relationship to develop and expand residency programs. DePietro et al, 2013 36 Review An innovative residency program developed through a worksite-based health and wellness program allowed residents the opportunity to provide direct patient care, perform health screenings, provide patient education, and conduct research, all of which helped improve the health of the sponsoring organization's employees. Swanoski et al, 2012 37 Review A formalized training program that established a research module with protected time for research helped residents complete their projects during the first 4 months of the program.…”

Public health competencies for pharmacists: A scoping review

“…Competencies identified in the communication and collaboration domain emerged in 32 papers (English et al, 2002;Jarvis et al, 2004;Patterson, 2008;Pfleger et al, 2008;Maffeo et al, 2009;Crane et al, 2010;Nichols-Packard et al, 2010;McCaig et al, 2011;Saini et al, 2011;Haddad et al, 2012;Bzowyckyj & Janke, 2013;Coleman et al, 2013;DiPietro et al, 2013;Um et al, 2013;Dean et al, 2014;NHS Health Check national competency and training working group, 2014;Fritsch et al, 2016;International Pharmaceutical Federation, 2016;Interprofessional Education Collaborative, 2016;Scott et al, 2016;Woodard et al, 2016;Dare et al, 2017;Kim et al, 2017;Johnson & Traynor, 2018;Earl et al, 2019;Holden & Evans, 2019;Law et al, 2019;Lee, 2019;Pontefract & Wilson, 2019;Healthy People Curriculum Task Force, 2020) with a broad range of required communication skills described. Communication skills were identified as being required for working in a culturally appropriate manner with individuals, patient/consumer groups and interprofessionally.…”

“…Papers addressing health literacy and advocacy detailed a range of further required communication skills such as the simplification of health information (Coleman et al, 2013;J.R. Covvey & Ryan, 2018) and the ability to produce appropriate written materials (DiPietro et al, 2013;DiVall et al, 2013;Fritsch et al, 2016;Earl et al, 2019). The ability to clearly state key points in health issues, engage with stakeholders and use public relations and marketing methods allows pharmacists to act as advocates for health and also the pharmacy profession (Boyle et al, 2004;Bzowyckyj & Janke, 2013;Fritsch et al, 2016).…”

“…Collaboration with other health professionals was identified as an important aspect of the theme of interconnectedness that appeared in the results. This was reflected in the number of papers addressing interprofessional competencies (n=19) (Markenson et al, 2005;Crane et al, 2010;Mantas et al, 2010;Rutland & Smith, 2010;Saini et al, 2011;Abraham et al, 2012;Walsh et al, 2012Coleman et al, 2013DiPietro et al, 2013;Dean et al, 2014;NHS Health Check national competency and training working group, 2014;Benzian et al, 2015;Jogerst et al, 2015;Interprofessional Education Collaborative, 2016;Teng et al, 2016;Kim et al, 2017;Hager et al, 2019;Pontefract & Wilson, 2019;Healthy People Curriculum Task Force, 2020). Of the papers presenting competency frameworks, half (n=10) were directed…”

“…The focus revolved around using information and research to understand and develop practice, as well as the evaluation and monitoring of progress across the implementation of activities (Bryson et al, 2014). Research concepts and skills were recognised as necessary for the provision of services (Rutland & Smith, 2010;DiPietro et al, 2013;Teng et al, 2016Law et al, 2019Lee, 2019). Skills to assist in information searching (Rutland & Smith, 2010) and communication (Lee, 2019), design and delivery of programs (DiPietro et al, 2013) and service improvement (DiPietro et al, 2013;Law et al, 2019) ultimately contribute to quality services improving patient satisfaction and outcome (DiPietro et al, 2013).…”
