Abstract:
We developed a pharmacist-led one-month teaching rotation for medical residents to learn HIV pharmacotherapy. The postgraduate-year-3 residents found this interprofessional learning experience extremely valuable to their future practice in HIV care. The overarching concept of this rotation was for the medical trainee to "become-the-pharmacist," learning to recognize, prevent, and manage drug-related issues in HIV patients. To support medical training in other highly specialized pharmacotherapeutic areas we suggest considering a pharmacist-led interprofessional learning experience.
