Abstract

Accrediting bodies for Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) and postgraduate residency training programs recognize the importance of research and scholarship training. However, specific guidance on how research and scholarship fundamentals should be delivered to trainees have not been provided. As a result, competing priorities often create barriers for trainees to develop research and scholarship skills and limit the trainees' ability to conduct and participate in high-quality, meaningful research experiences. The purpose of this "how-to" guide is to assist pharmacy school faculty and pharmacy residency program directors with strategies to overcome programmatic, trainee, and project barriers to providing a high-quality training experience in research and scholarship. Programmatic topics addressed include institutional support and program oversight, expertise and number of research mentors, incentives for mentor engagement, and competing priorities that diminish time for research activities. Trainee topics include lack of trainee interest in the assigned project, trainee departure prior to project completion, lack of knowledge of the publication process, and time constraints to work on the project. Project topics addressed include time needed to initiate a project, training on methodology relevant to a project, selection of projects that lack rigor, depth, or feasibility, and resource constraints to disseminate project results. A summary of specific recommended actions is provided to effectively overcome these common barriers encountered in research and scholarship training programs.
