Abstract

Many external drivers may be influencing a paradigm shift in graduate education. Workforce dynamics are driving a re-examination of what is instructed in graduate programs as well as how curricula are delivered. Most graduate programs have made incremental changes in their philosophical approaches, but new and more dramatic paradigms may be needed to sufficiently address the future needs of employers and students alike.

Keywords: future; graduate education; pharmaceutical sciences; research.
