Abstract Background Traditional pharmacy education often relies on fragmented, subject-centered curricula, which may inadequately prepare students for the complexities of advanced healthcare. This study evaluates the effectiveness of an integrated pharmacy education approach in enhancing foundational knowledge and practical skills. Methods An integrated course focused on respiratory diseases was developed and implemented for final-year pharmacy students at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. The course utilized case-based learning and incorporated elements from various disciplines such as pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, and pharmaceutics. An educational controlled trial was conducted, comparing an intervention group (integrated course) with a control group (traditional course). Results Survey results revealed that over 60% of students reported substantial improvements in their ability to manage respiratory cases. The intervention group demonstrated significantly higher clinical decision-making skills, with an average test score of 31.4 compared to 15.75 in the control group (p |
