Abstract:
Pharmaceutical compounding is the art and science of preparing customized medications to meet the specific and unique needs of patients. To compound preparations that are safe, effective, and of the highest quality, it is vital that pharmacists are knowledgeable regarding current guidelines and standards and able to demonstrate competency in compounding skills. While various instructional methods have been utilized within pharmacy education to train students on such skills, one strategy that has not been extensively studied is peer-assisted learning. This commentary aims to discuss strategies for employing peer-assisted learning-including peer teaching and near-peer teaching-within compounding courses, highlight the benefits and challenges of this instructional strategy, and put forth a call to action for additional research into the design, implementation, and outcomes associated with the use of peer-assisted learning in compounding education.
