NEW STUDENTS
Integration into Residence Life Programs (if relevant)
Description of activity
Some pharmacy schools are located on campuses with structured residence
life programs. Schools must be aware of what information related to
appropriate behavior is being discussed in residence life orientation
programs and what behavioral issues are being monitored.
Rationale
Many schools feel that student pharmacists should conduct themselves in
a professional manner in all environments, outside of the pharmacy
school as well as in campus housing. Residential life administrators
should be aware of the school’s behavioral expectations.
Areas of professionalism addressed
Areas of professionalism include; learning the expectations for
professional behavior in everyday personal life, working/living with
individuals who are different than yourself, and leadership development
in a structured living environment.
Special issues involving planning / promotion /
implementation
Schools must establish communication linkages with residence life
programs. When monitoring student pharmacist behavior, schools must be
careful not to be perceived as “Big Brother” while promoting
appropriate behavior in residential living areas.
Examples of programs and resources
Schools should review campus residential life policies and
procedures.
