When COVID-19 shuttered schools across the nation, it propelled higher education institutions into uncharted territories. Institutions had to make rapid decisions in a short period of time with limited information or direction. In these uncertain and challenging times, members of the academy reached out to one another to discuss, share, and learn from one another. What began with a few members of the Student Services Personnel Special Interest Group (SIG) grew to many members who banded together through open discussions to utilize a team approach to innovative problem-solving. Working together through open discussions created a setting that promoted diverse ideas, multiple perspectives, and a depth of knowledge to address some of the most challenging issues pharmacy education has had to overcome. When partnering together, institutions had a much greater resource of knowledge and support that could be leveraged to broadly benefit the academy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
