Dear E-Druggers:
Re: course on prescribing
Keith Johnson and I are looking for published articles or book
chapters describing courses on teaching prescribing especially those
taught by pharmacists to other health professionals.
We taught for years a course to 1st year Georgetown med students, "How
to be a good prescriber" (non-pharmacological aspects). We presented
it at FIP in Jerusalem and received encouragement to publish an
article about it.
No we don't have any evidence that the course had any positive affect
in the long run. For sure we would like to have it, but I don't
recall any of the undergraduate medical courses being held to that
standard. We do know the students learned about sources of drug
information and how to evaluate them.
Thanks for your help.
