Experiential Pharmacy Education During a Pandemic: Lessons Learned
The COVID-19 pandemic has radically changed how the world operates and introduced a multitude of unprecedented challenges for all health professionals, especially for those responsible for training learners, including pharmacy residents and students. Due to density and social distancing
restrictions, many pharmacy schools and residency programs had to transition to virtual experiential learning‐with little to no existing literature, structure, or adequate time for planning. This article offers a variety of approaches to ensure that pharmacy learners meet accreditation
requirements, engage in interprofessional education and collaboration, reflect on their learning, prioritize self-care, and are adequately prepared to enter geriatric pharmacy practice despite current challenges with the COVID-19 pandemic. Authors address both challenges, as well as opportunities
to expand future experiential education for all pharmacy learners.
