The impact on student professional development with involvement in such health promotions has been sparsely documented. The specific aim of this project was to explore the impact on student learning and professional development when they create, implement, and reflect upon a Health and Wellness Project (HWP). In 2022\u20132023, each student completing a Community Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience created and implemented an HWP with the goal of serving as a \u201chealth promoter\u201d (205 projects). A multi-method design of quantitative and qualitative assessment techniques was used to analyze the impact of creating\/implementing the HWP on students\u2019 learning, with a self-determination theory (SDT) framework utilized to evaluate professional development. Upon review, all projects met the acceptability criteria. Qualitative data analysis from a subset of 48 students identified themes of impact on learning, which included knowledge acquisition, enhancement of communication skills, opportunity for patient-centered interaction, selection of targeted educational strategies, and immersion into the role of health promoter. All three components of SDT were found to support professional development: competence in the field; relatedness to patients and the profession; and autonomy in creating the HWP. Student quotations demonstrated strong professional identity formation as students began to think, act, and feel like pharmacists.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pharmacy12010005","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,28]],"date-time":"2023-12-28T09:56:27Z","timestamp":1703757387000},"page":"5","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Health and Wellness Projects Created by Student Pharmacists during Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences: Exploring the Impact on Professional Development"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7013-7318","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laurie L.","family":"Briceland","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy Practice, Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Albany, NY 12208, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Megan","family":"Veselov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy Practice, Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Albany, NY 12208, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3427-7027","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Courtney Caimano","family":"Tackes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy Practice, Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Albany, NY 12208, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jennifer","family":"Cerulli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy Practice, Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Albany, NY 12208, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,28]]},"reference":[{"unstructured":"American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, Center for the Advancement of Pharmaceutical Education (CAPE) (2023, October 09).
