Abstract

As a clinician educator and classroom teacher, I'm fortunate to work with my pharmacy students at both ends of the educational spectrum – the didactic and the experiential years in training. In clinic, I often get frustrated at my student's inability to remember the in-depth pharmacotherapy or pharmacology of a drug that I know for sure I taught them. Didn't they study that material? Didn't it become burned in their memory because Dr. Sando told them how it important it was to remember?
