In the academic year of 2018/2019, 12 students were included in the pilot project of introducing the research activities as part of the practical training. We aimed at testing the feasibility of conducting research activities in community pharmacies with engagement of students, which would also add value for students in terms of developing competences within the practical training competence framework. Most (75%) of the students involved rated their experience of participating in the research activities as positive. 91% reported that research activity contributed to the development of their personal / professional competencies, with special emphasis on communication skills and self-management, and 50% reported about major contribution on developing competencies related to patient care, especially acquiring more comprehensive pharmacotherapy knowledge and performing patient-centred activities. As a negative experience, they reported about certain challenges related to patient recruitment and data collection, and coordinating research activities and routine work at the pharmacy.
