The Student New Practitioner (SNP) Leadership Task Force was established on September 14, 2007, to address the leadership issues facing pharmacy students and those entering into pharmacy practice. Specifically, the SNP Task Force addressed the following:
• The current level of students' and new practitioners' exposure to leadership, or lack thereof, within the context of their present studies or practice settings.
• The specific gaps in leadership education and training for students and new practitioners.
• Opportunities to incorporate leadership education into the training and education of students and new practitioners.
• Innovative mechanisms and/or initiatives to address those gaps.
• The values, issues and challenges that uniquely impact new practitioners’ desire or ability to assume formal and informal leadership roles.
