The COVID-19 pandemic led to many colleges of pharmacy having to make major changes relating to their infrastructure and delivery of their curriculum within a very short time frame, including the transition of many components to an online setting. This scoping review sought to summarize what is known about the impact of COVID-19 on pharmacy education and the effectiveness of adaptation strategies which were put in place. PubMed, Web of Science, OVID Medline, and MedEdPortal were searched to identify pharmacy education-related articles published since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. For article inclusion, the following criteria had to be met: described original research, related directly to PharmD or PharmBS education, related to the impact of COVID-19 on pharmacy education, and was available in English. Out of a total of 813 articles, 50 primary research articles were selected for inclusion. Our review of these identified four domains relating to the impact of COVID-19 on pharmacy education and/or effectiveness of adaptation strategies: (1) lab-based courses and activities (including interprofessional education activities), (2) experiential education, (3) didactic education, and (4) student well-being. The key research findings are summarized and discussed. While the COVID-19 pandemic has clearly brought many challenges to pharmacy education, it has also led to key improvements and innovations.
新冠疫情致使许多药学院在极短时间内不得不对其基础设施和课程授课方式做出重大改变，包括将许多课程内容转换到线上教学环境。本范围综述旨在总结关于新冠疫情对药学教育的影响以及所实施的适应策略的有效性的已知情况。检索了PubMed、科学网、OVID医学数据库和医学教育门户，以识别自新冠疫情开始以来发表的与药学教育相关的文章。文章纳入需满足以下标准：描述原创研究、直接与药学博士或药学学士教育相关、与新冠疫情对药学教育的影响相关且为英文。在总共813篇文章中，选取了50篇原创研究文章纳入。我们对这些文章的综述确定了与新冠疫情对药学教育的影响和/或适应策略的有效性相关的四个领域：（1）基于实验室的课程和活动（包括跨专业教育活动），（2）实践教育，（3）理论教育，以及（4）学生福祉。对关键研究结果进行了总结和讨论。虽然新冠疫情显然给药学教育带来了诸多挑战，但它也带来了关键的改进和创新。
