Abstract

Given the variability in compounding education provided by Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) programs, incorporation of compounding-focused learning experiences within pipeline programs and co-curricular education may provide students with important exposure, networking opportunities, and skill development. Compounding education can be incorporated into areas outside of the core curriculum, including pipeline programming for pre-pharmacy students and the co-curriculum for current pharmacy students. This article, which is a perspective commentary, will discuss suggestions for designing and implementing these types of learning opportunities, including considerations for faculty and budgets and related benefits for learners. These ideas will be discussed in the context of examples provided by a college of pharmacy who has implemented these learning experiences. To ensure well-trained pharmacists continue to pursue compounding careers, it is vital that pharmacy programs provide ample opportunities for student exposure and training in this area. Pharmacy programs are encouraged to incorporate compounding- focused learning experiences within pipeline programming and the co-curriculum. Future research is needed to investigate the impact of such experiences on students’ compounding knowledge and skills and their pursuit of compounding careers.
