Abstract

Objective. Pharmacy programs are increasingly using virtual simulation to provide a safe and realistic environment for students to practice critical patient care skills. The aim of this study was to describe the use of MyDispense, a virtual simulation tool, in pharmacy programs across the United States.

Methods. Researchers developed a 16-item survey focused on program characteristics and MyDispense integration in pharmacy curricula. It was sent to MyDispense administrators of pharmacy programs in the United States. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the results.

Results. Administrators from 36 pharmacy programs responded to the survey (72%). MyDispense was most commonly integrated into one or two courses for first- or second- year students. The most common skills that students practiced were medication dispensing, communication with patients, and drug-information skills. Validation exercises were most common followed by dispensing and over-the-counter exercises. The number of pharmacy schools using MyDispense suggest the potential for collaboration among instructors in order to increase efficiencies in delivery of course materials as well as evaluate student learning.

Conclusion. Instructors most commonly used MyDispense in courses for first- and second-year students to teach medication dispensing, communication with patients, utilizing drug information resources, applying pharmacy laws, and making recommendations about over-the-counter medications.
