Digital health in pharmacy education : Faculty perspective

Abstract

Pharmacy academic institutions have a mission of sustaining professional pharmaceutical workforce development through a robust education. Promoting transformation of the profession through research, using advanced technologies, is essential for tomorrow’s pharmacy practice. This noble mission is achieved by addressing the inter-connected complex facets of education and research in pharmacy while maintaining a social accountability focus. The integration of social accountability goals in a college’s mission, strategy, curriculum, learning experiences, research activities and partnerships sustains the relevance of education and research to meet the needs of society.
