Collaborative Education with Veterinary Medicine: An Elective Pharmacy Clerkship

Abstract | Word Stems | Keywords | Association | Citation | Get this Document | Similar Titles



Abstract:

Sixth-year (fourth professional year) pharmacy students are offered the opportunity to enroll in an advanced clerkship titled Veterinary Medicine. This clerkship is offered in collaboration with one of the premiere Schools of Veterinary Medicine, Kansas State University, located in Manhattan, Kansas.

Pharmacy and veterinary students are exposed to small animal medicine and surgery, equine medicine and surgery, agricultural practices, exotic wildlife and zoo animal medicine, anesthesiology, ophthalmology, and oncology during their month-long clerkship experience. Students round daily with senior veterinary medicine students, interns, residents and attending staff.

Pharmacy students provide pharmacotherapeutic recommendations on veterinary rounds (similar to medical rounds). The students also learn extemporaneous drug compounding techniques, especially with off-label drug use in animals. They also develop pharmacotherapeutic expertise with chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of veterinary neoplastic diseases in various species.

Pharmacy students acquire not only pharmacotherapy expertise but also gain familiarity with the laws pertaining to animal care and livestock production. Pharmacy students garner an appreciation for the communication skills required to interact with not only other health care providers but equally important, with the animal owners. Veterinary students have also expressed an appreciation for their interdisciplinary exposure to pharmacy students. These interactions have highlighted the types of services pharmacists can provide for their future clients as well as the laws regulating drug distribution in the community setting.
