To explore student pharmacists' shared experiences as they transitioned through the first three years of a Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum, from dependent learners to autonomous contributors. Methods. The researchers used interpretive phenomenology to examine the lived experiences of student pharmacists. Previously gathered focus group data for 309 student pharmacists from the 2015-2016 academic year were explored. A step-wise approach to data analysis was used to perpetuate the natural emergence of themes and alignment with theory. Utilizing Arthur Chickering's Seven Vectors of Identity Development as a lens, the researchers analyzed findings related to self-realization and identification of purpose. Results. The research team identified several themes associated with the teaching and learning process professionalism, autonomy, and managing the expectations of the curriculum.

This exploration provided a glimpse into the lived experiences of student pharmacists at three different stages in their journey from dependent learners to autonomous contributors. By comparing students in one year with those in the n
