    A new evaluation form reliably assesses pharmacy student performance in drug information consultations. The tool proved valid for measuring both individual and program competence in drug information services.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacy Education
    • Drug Information Services
    • Clinical Pharmacy Practice

    Background:

    • Pharmacy students require practical experience in drug information services.
    • Assessing student performance in these services is crucial for quality education.
    • Standardized evaluation methods are needed to measure competence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the performance of pharmacy students in a drug information service clerkship.
    • To assess the reliability and validity of a written drug information consultation evaluation form.
    • To determine the instrument's effectiveness in measuring individual and program competence.

    Main Methods:

    • Seventy-four pharmacy students (clerks) completed 147 written drug information consultations.

  • Eighteen preceptors evaluated consultations using an 11-criterion form with a four-level rating scale.
  • Statistical analyses were performed to assess clerk improvement, instrument reliability, and inter-rater reliability.

    • Main Results:

    • The overall mean performance score for consultations was 84.7%.
    • A slight, non-significant improvement was noted between the first and second consultations.
    • The evaluation process demonstrated good reliability (coefficient of alpha = 0.666) with no significant preceptor differences.

    Conclusions:

    • The written drug information consultation evaluation form is a valid and reliable tool.
    • The form effectively measures competence in drug information services for both students and educational programs.
    • This instrument supports standardized assessment in pharmacy clerkships.
