Completing MyDispense exercises, a web-based community pharmacy simulation, positively impacts student pharmacists' performance on pharmacy law exams. This tool aids in understanding controlled substance prescription validation.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Digital Learning Tools
- Pharmacology
Background:
- MyDispense is a web-based simulation of a community pharmacy.
- It is designed to help students understand controlled substance prescription validation.
- This includes identifying prescription errors and omissions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the impact of MyDispense exercises on student pharmacists' comprehension of pharmacy law.
- To evaluate the correlation between MyDispense exercise completion and exam performance.
- To gather student feedback on the utility of the MyDispense tool.
Main Methods:
- Fourteen MyDispense practice exercises were integrated into a second-year pharmacy law course.
- Data collected included MyDispense completion rates and pharmacy law midterm exam scores.
- Student feedback was gathered via a questionnaire.
Main Results:
- Complete data were obtained from 94 student pharmacists.
- A positive correlation was found between the number of MyDispense exercises completed and midterm exam scores (β = 0.28, p = 0.02).
- Students reported moderate to high value in the exercises and expressed willingness to use the tool for future preparation.
Conclusions:
- MyDispense serves as an effective platform for applying controlled substance laws in a simulated community pharmacy setting.
- Completion of MyDispense exercises positively influenced student performance on a pharmacy law midterm exam.
- The simulation tool is valued by students for exam preparation.
