AB We envision a paradigm shift where our profession no longer follows but leads the charge to develop a whole mind approach in our pharmacists. Left brain skills remain critical but are no longer sufficient to combat the current threats of abundance, automation, and outsourcing within the pharmacy landscape. It is vital that pharmacists be skilled problem solvers and empathizers. We must capitalize on characteristics that make pharmacists essential while innovating new opportunities and jobs. We call on the Academy to reimagine curricular design and offer deliberate messaging and modeling that fosters a higher priority on right brain skill development.
