Background: To date, there is very limited data regarding pharmacists’ preparation to handle animal prescriptions. No previous studies be found examining the impact of a veterinary-pharmacy–focused educational interference.
Objective: To assess pharmacists’ begining knowledge of veterinary pharmacotherapy, as applicable to their professional responsibilities, and assess the impact of a controlled educational program.
Methods: Two studies were managed. The first study involved a statewide evaluation of pharmacists’ knowledge of veterinary pharmacotherapy; the second study assessed the impact of an educational interferences to improve pharmacists’ veterinary pharmacotherapy knowledge base. Participants in the controlled study were estimate via pretest and posttest.
Results: The statewide sample of participants (n = 602) received a mean score of 5.9 (SD = 2.6) on a 17-item questionnaire. There were no distinct differences in participants’ knowledge based on the subject matter of the question (pathophysiology, dosing, counseling, compounding, validity, and toxicology). Using the same 17-item questionnaire, controlled study participants (n = 60) received a mean score of 5.2 (SD = 2.4) on the pretest and 16.6 (SD = 0.7) on the posttest.
Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that a substantial portion of pharmacists lack the knowledge needed to process and dispense the veterinary prescriptions most commonly encountered in community pharmacies. Furthermore, this study shows that implementation of an educational intervention can increase pharmacists’ knowledge of core concepts necessary to safely care for animal patients.
