Engaging in Collaborative Research: Focus on the Pharmacy Practitioner.
Research offers an opportunity for investigators to explore unanswered questions, highlight best practices, and engage in collaboration. Clinical research can engage health care professionals to identify treatments or procedures to enhance patient care, quality of life, and outcomes. Research may also include experiences in a unique practice site or teaching methodology of trainees, staff, or patients. The goal of research is to improve individual patient care via dissemination of knowledge through publications. This article aims to highlight the importance of pharmacist-led research in the academic or community medical center and the need for resident-based research and mentorship for the integration of collaborative research and achievement of organizational goals.
