| Popis: | Exposure to medication therapy management (MTM) courses has demonstrated to increase student pharmacist's confidence in the application of patient care skills. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of student pharmacists' work experience in a telehealth MTM program, versus hospital or community settings, on their confidence in skills applied in patient care.This was a cross-sectional multicenter survey. Confidence in patient care among student pharmacists was assessed between those who worked in a telehealth MTM program versus other settings. The data was evaluated using Chi-Square, Fisher exact, unpaired-t, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney U tests.282 surveys were completed. First-year student pharmacists who worked in the telehealth MTM programs, versus other settings, were more confident in the provision of a comprehensive medication review (CMR) (p.001), interviewing patients (p.001), identifying medication errors (p.001), and making therapeutic recommendations to patients (p = .04) and prescribers (p = .04). Second and third-year student pharmacists who worked in telehealth MTM programs, versus other settings, were more confident in the provision of a CMR (p ≤ .005). Fourth-year student pharmacists who worked in the telehealth MTM programs, versus other settings, were more confident in the provision of a CMR (p = .003), interviewing patients (p = .02), and identifying medication errors (p = .04).Student pharmacists' participation in a telehealth MTM program may markedly increase their confidence in skills applied in patient care. MTM work experience should be offered to student pharmacists during their PharmD programs to enhance their confidence in the provision of patient care. |
