The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) Accreditation Standards suggest integration and inclusion of interprofessional education in doctor of pharmacy programs. Although not directly mentioned by these Standards, intraprofessional education between student pharmacists and student pharmacy technicians may provide valuable preparation for comradery in practice.
Given the prevalence of collaboration between pharmacists and pharmacy technicians in pharmacy practice, lack of intraprofessional education could be a vital gap in current programs. There have been previous calls within academic pharmacy and from key stakeholder groups for greater involvement of the profession in the training and education of pharmacy technicians, yet literature is sparse on successful models. This commentary includes a discussion of why intraprofessional training is vital, a brief commentary on example intraprofessional activities, as well as strategies for collaboration.
A series of questions with the intention of evoking further conversations and awareness within academic pharmacy completes the commentary.
药学教育认证委员会（ACPE）的认证标准建议在药学博士项目中整合并纳入跨专业教育。尽管这些标准未直接提及，但学生药剂师和学生药房技术员之间的专业内教育可为实践中的协作提供有价值的准备。
鉴于药剂师和药房技术员在药学实践中合作的普遍性，缺乏专业内教育可能是当前项目中的一个重要差距。此前，学术药学领域和关键利益相关者团体曾呼吁该行业更多地参与药房技术员的培训和教育，但关于成功模式的文献却很少。本评论包括对专业内培训为何至关重要的讨论、对专业内活动示例的简要评论以及协作策略。
一系列旨在引发学术药学领域进一步讨论和提高认识的问题完善了本评论。
