An appropriate balance between teaching, scholarship, and service is important for a faculty member to have a satisfying and successful career. The relative emphasis on each area normally changes during the course of a career. Although some level of scholarly output is an ongoing and fundamental expectation of all faculty members, this activity is too often given low priority, particularly among faculty members in practice areas who may have a minimal background in research and large demands on their time for teaching and clinical service. Addressing this issue requires establishing a shared commitment between administrators and faculty members, as well as identifying or developing education programs that will ensure research competence for practice faculty members. This paper provides insights into the role that scholarship and research should have for all pharmacy faculty members and provides suggestions for how to better advance this critical component within academic pharmacy.
对于教职员工来说，在教学、学术研究和服务之间取得适当的平衡对于拥有令人满意和成功的职业生涯至关重要。在职业生涯中，每个领域的相对重点通常会发生变化。尽管一定水平的学术产出是所有教职员工的持续且基本的期望，但这种活动往往被置于次要地位，尤其是在实践领域的教职员工中，他们可能在研究方面的背景较少，而教学和临床服务方面的需求却很大。解决这个问题需要在行政人员和教职员工之间建立共同的承诺，并确定或开发教育计划，以确保实践教职员工具备研究能力。本文深入探讨了学术研究和研究对于所有药学教师的作用，并就如何在学术药学领域更好地推进这一关键组成部分提出了建议。
