To examine PharmD students' knowledge about Medicare Part D and their attitudes toward and intention to provide Medicare medication therapy management services (MTMS).
Fourth-professional year students were given a self-administered survey instrument that assessed: (1) knowledge about Medicare Part D; (2) attitudes, perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, and intention to provide Medicare MTMS; and (3) demographic and experience information.
Ninety-five students responded for a response rate of 94%. Students showed good basic knowledge about Medicare Part D, with a mean score of 94%. Almost 60% of students agreed that they intended to provide Medicare MTMS, but agreement dropped to 37% when they were asked if they were willing to take initiative to provide MTMS.
The lack of willingness to take initiative to provide Medicare MTMS suggests that colleges and schools of pharmacy must strengthen efforts to encourage students to take on the role of service provider.
考查药学博士专业学生对医疗保险D部分的了解情况，以及他们对提供医疗保险药物治疗管理服务（MTMS）的态度和意愿。
对四年级专业学生进行一项自填式调查问卷，该问卷评估：（1）对医疗保险D部分的了解；（2）对提供医疗保险MTMS的态度、感知行为控制、主观规范和意愿；（3）人口统计学和经验信息。
95名学生做出回应，回应率为94%。学生对医疗保险D部分表现出良好的基础知识，平均得分94%。近60%的学生表示他们打算提供医疗保险MTMS，但当被问及是否愿意主动提供MTMS时，这一比例降至37%。
缺乏主动提供医疗保险MTMS的意愿表明，药学院校必须加大力度鼓励学生承担服务提供者的角色。
