Abstract:
Pharmaceutical education is a profession rife with opportunities for diversified teaching. This paper provides a description of the enhancement of pharmaceutical education via incorporation of faculty personal interests into the classroom setting. Such endeavors are an excellent opportunity for encouraging student diversification and enhancing one's own personal interests. Additionally, this undertaking may foster mentoring of, and personal interaction with, pharmacy students. Didactic elective courses, development of clinical clerkships, and promotion of pharmacy student involvement in community volunteer activities may be the product of this venture. Furthermore, unique professional opportunities for school of pharmacy students and faculty may be the direct product of this innovative endeavor.
