    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacy Education
    • Clinical Pharmacy Practice
    • Pharmacokinetics and Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Staff pharmacists require specialized training in clinical areas like pharmacokinetics and infectious diseases.
    • Decentralized unit dose drug distribution systems necessitate advanced pharmacy skills.
    • Existing training programs may not adequately cover these critical clinical domains.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a clinical training program for staff pharmacists.
    • To enhance expertise in pharmacokinetics and infectious diseases within a decentralized pharmacy setting.
    • To assess the program's impact on pharmacist knowledge and performance.

    Main Methods:

    • A training program involving lectures, readings, and practical assignments was designed.

    • Main Results:

    • Trained pharmacists showed significant improvement in posttest scores compared to pretest scores.
    • Trained pharmacists outperformed the control group in post-training assessments.
    • The program was successfully implemented at the Seattle VA Medical Center pharmacy.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed clinical training program is effective in enhancing pharmacist knowledge.
    • This program provides a successful model for training staff pharmacists in pharmacokinetics and infectious diseases.
    • The training approach can be adapted for other clinical areas of interest in pharmacy.
