To determine fourth-year Canadian pharmacy students' knowledge of herbal medicine and whether that knowledge is associated with mandatory instruction in herbal medicine.
Standardized multiple-choice tests assessing students' herbal knowledge were distributed to all fourth-year BSc pharmacy students at 5 pharmacy schools in Canada.
The Quebec response rate was too low to include in the analysis. Herbal knowledge test scores were positively associated with having previously taken an herbal medicine class and completion of a pharmacy practicum. However, postsecondary education, age, and gender were not associated with herbal knowledge test scores. Students at the University of British Columbia had the highest score, followed by Alberta, Nova Scotia, and Ontario.
Pharmacy students' knowledge of herbal medicine varies depending on the school attended and higher herbal knowledge test scores appear to be most closely related to mandatory herbal instruction.
确定加拿大四年级药学专业学生对草药医学的了解程度，以及该知识是否与草药医学的强制性教学相关。
向加拿大5所药学院的所有四年级理学学士药学专业学生发放评估其草药知识的标准化多项选择题测试。
魁北克的回复率过低，无法纳入分析。草药知识测试成绩与之前上过草药医学课程以及完成药学实习呈正相关。然而，高等教育、年龄和性别与草药知识测试成绩无关。英属哥伦比亚大学的学生得分最高，其次是艾伯塔省、新斯科舍省和安大略省。
药学专业学生对草药医学的了解因就读学校而异，较高的草药知识测试成绩似乎与强制性草药教学关系最为密切。
