“…A similar situation was found in a study in South Korea, in which 64.4% students agreed or strongly agreed that they can provide adequate counseling and education on pharmacotherapy and non-pharmacoterapy (Kim et al, 2019). As demonstrated in a study carried out in Brazil, in an analysis of the perception of the student, the course provided them with education as a researcher at the expense of the development of clinical skills (Coelho et al, 2022). In other countries, the profile of pharmaceutical education is different.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the perception of pharmacy undergraduate students about the learning developed in an internship in community pharmacies designed based on experiential learning theory. Methods: This was an observational study. Data were collected through a questionnaire with pharmacy internship students (n=129), including items about the student’s perception of the achievement of learning objectives and methods. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data were performed. Results: Most undergraduates agreed that the internship increased their understanding of the current profile of pharmacists and their responsibilities in the community pharmacy, prepared them for patient care and fostered critical assessment and ability to propose improvements. Students supervised by preceptors who performed clinical services were more likely to agree that the internship achieved the learning objective of preparing them for care. Conclusion: The majority of students agreed that the learning outcomes were achieved. The findings can contribute to improvements in internship programs, such as qualifying the practice sites.

“…Autonomous work involves procedural strategies (decisions about the organization of the study), metacognition processes (reflection of the learning process itself), and support strategies (regulation of work and promotion of conditions that effectively facilitate the study) [7,37,38]. In addition, this autonomous work must be motivating, provide students with the possibility of feedback, and integrate the contents of the face-to-face classes [10,11,39,40]. The development of ICTs has allowed the incorporation of different technological elements that favor autonomous work [15,16].…”

“…On the other hand, research conducted in Qatar and Kuwait among final-year pharmacy students showed that students feel well prepared to run a PC, although they still see the need to modify the curriculum to include more empirical experiences and administrative aspects related to conducting pharmaceutical services [ 25 ]. Likewise, interns from a Brazilian pharmacy school indicated that, despite assessing their pharmacy internships as satisfactory, they still saw the need to improve patient information, as well as interprofessional collaboration skills [ 26 ]. The presented research, similar to ours, shows that pharmacy students feel substantially prepared for the profession, while the education gap is still in the improvement of practical skills.…”

It is necessary to monitor and adapt pharmacy curricula to make graduates ready to effectively meet the health needs of the society. Therefore, the aim of the study was to obtain Polish final year pharmacy students’ opinions on the activities related to pharmaceutical care (PC) andtheir perception of PC. Two questionnaires were used: one evaluating a PC regarding classes and in practice (n = 64), and the other on the assessment of existing educational solutions in the field of professional counseling (n = 118). Statistical analysis showed that the students agreed that there are not enough hours of a PC classes, since these are necessary to enable them to provide PC services in the future (R = 0.05, p = 0.0007). In previous classes, teachers’ knowledge was rated the highest on a five-point scale (4.74), and role play (3.92) and the duration of the classes (3.77) were rated the lowest. Although the students were aware of the role of a PC in the work of a pharmacist, they indicated that more extensive use of active learning methods would better prepare them for the profession. Therefore, pharmacy students’ self-efficacy survey and a curriculum renewal would be recommended in Poland.
