“…In contrast, in comprehensive pharmaceutical care where the emphasis is on evaluating the patient's overall drug-related needs, the distribution of drug-related problems will also include situations where patients require a drug therapy but are not receiving it, and identification problems related to wrong drug, adherence problems, and actual adverse drug reaction. [23][24][25] The distribution of drug-related problems identified by the students in this project are consistent with what has been observed in the literature. Thus, the limited exposure to comprehensive pharmaceutical care within this APPE restricted the breadth of drug-related problems for which students could take responsibility.…”

Objective. To determine the nature and extent of learning opportunities presented to students during a community advanced pharmacy practice experience. Methods. Learning opportunities were determined by reviewing students' portfolios. The numbers of unique learning opportunities in which students were engaged were calculated. Results. While all students had ample opportunities to participate in consultations involving the assessment of new and refill prescriptions and nonprescription drugs, only 78% of students had the opportunity to engage in even 1 comprehensive pharmaceutical care consult over an 8-week period. Students' experiences in providing follow-up care, participating in a patient care project, and shadowing another healthcare professional were also limited. Conclusion. Analysis of the student portfolios suggested that the learning environment did not provide students with adequate opportunities to develop pharmaceutical care competencies.

“…9,[11][12][13][14] There have also been studies quantifying the impact of postgraduate PharmD students on patient care, although most of these have been conducted in institutional and ambulatory care settings. [15][16][17] However, fewer studies have explored how community pharmacies can benefit as APPE placement sites.…”

Objective. To quantify the benefits of an enhanced advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) community pharmacy model compared to the traditional program by comparing basic and comprehensive pharmaceutical care provided by students and assessing preceptors' perceptions of the APPE. Methods. A pilot study consisting of 1 enhanced APPE arm and 2 traditional APPE (control) arms was conducted. The enhanced APPE consisted of a preceptor education program, a 5-day onsite student orientation, and an 8-week experience completed at 1 rather than 2 community sites. Results. The level of interventions provided by students in the enhanced APPE arm significantly surpassed that of students in the control arms. In addition, preceptor questionnaires indicated overwhelming support for the enhanced model over the traditional APPE. Conclusions. The study's findings demonstrated that the enhanced APPE model enabled the participating pharmacies to provide increased level of patient care (as compared to the control sites) and improved preceptor satisfaction with the APPE.
