Abstract

The #RxWritingChallenge is a focused period in which pharmacy writers commit to write for 30 minutes per day for two weeks as a personal challenge to increase their scholarly output. It combines elements of dedicating short, consistent blocks of time to writing with the camaraderie of a writing group. The #RxWritingChallenge addresses some of the common issues leading to lower than desired scholarly output: time management, writing skills and habits, accountability, and emotional barriers. As part of Objective 4 of the FIP Academic Section’s strategic plan, promote scholarship in pharmaceutical education, participation in the March 2021 #RxWritingChallege was encouraged. Members who began the challenge chose to participate for solidarity, improved productivity, to complete a specific project, and to improve their writing. All who completed the post-challenge survey indicated they would participate in future challenges. Combined benefits of regular, short blocks dedicated to writing and accountability to a community of writers make the #RxWritingChallenge an attractive proposition for pharmacy academics.
