Objectives:
In 2018, the implementation of shared medication reports in pharmacy encourages pharmacists to cooperate with other healthcare professionals. This job allows a decrease of medication errors in elderly. This requires a reorganization of the training offered by universities (initial and continuing training). The aim is to present the results of this pedagogical experimentation.
Methods:
The experimentation (years 2017-2018 and 2018-2019) required the creation of a course to allow students to carry out a pharmaceutical analysis suitable to elderly people, to set up and carry out a shared medication report in pharmacy. Then, during their 6th year internship, students had to carry out at least one shared medication report per month. A monthly follow-up was organized with a database online.
Results:
Sixty-four students and 35 internship supervisors participated in the experimentation. All the students improved their ease in using clinical pharmacy tools (pharmaceutical analysis, pharmaceutical interventions, assessment of adherence, etc.). They carried out 345 shared medication reports. In 24.3% of cases, an improvement in the prescription was proposed to the doctor (general practitioner or specialist). For 80% of the internship supervisors, the initial training of the students helped to set up this new pharmacy activity.
Conclusions:
This teaching is appreciated by students and internship supervisors. It enabled the adoption of the various tools essential for carrying out shared medication reports in pharmacy. Shared medication reports reinforce the multidisciplinary work of pharmacists, especially with general practitioners.

Pharmacovigilance
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
