Student Pharmacists' Ability to Organize Complex Medication Regimens According to the Universal Medication Schedule.

Abstract:

:Objective. To assess student pharmacists' ability to impact the administration of complex prescription regimens using the universal medication schedule in a standardized laboratory exercise. Methods. First and third professional year (P1 and P3) student pharmacists at three colleges of pharmacy completed a required activity to simplify and organize a complex medication regimen. Using a medication box, students planned how and when they would advise a patient to take seven fictitious medications over a 24-hour period. Picture documentation of each students' activity was used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to compare P1 and P3 students' performance, and an independent t test was used to assess the frequency of daily dosing. A chi-square analysis was used to compare differences between P1 and P3 students, and analysis of variance was used to compare differences among individual institutions. Results. Of 842 students invited, 459 P1 and 372 P3 students (98.7%) consented to participate. Student pharmacists recommended 5.1 (SD=1.0; Range=3-11) dosing intervals per 24 hours, with 27% of students successfully reducing the regimen to four total intervals. The P3 students were more effective than the P1 students in planning the number of dosing intervals (4.9 vs 5.4 per 24 hours). Conclusion. Student pharmacists may become more effective at organizing complex medication regimens as they proceed through the pharmacy curriculum and gain experience. Student pharmacists can translate what they learned from this exercise to potentially improve patients' self-organized medication regimens.
