To implement and assess a medication therapy management (MTM) training program for pharmacy students using the MirixaPro (Mirixa Corporation, Reston, VA) platform and case studies.
Students received lectures introducing MTM and were given a demonstration of the MirixaPro platform. They were divided into teams and assigned cases and times to interview patients portrayed by faculty members. Using the MirixaPro system, students performed 2 comprehensive medication reviews during the semester, recording the patient's current medications, indications, side effects, allergies, health conditions, and laboratory test recommendations and developed a personal medication record and medication action plan.
Based on a rubric with a rating scale of 0-10, campus and distance pathway students received mean scores ranging from 6.3-7.4 for their performance on the second MTM exercise, an increase of 47%-54% over the first MTM exercise. In qualitative assessments, the majority of students believed that their confidence in providing MTM was enhanced by the activity, while faculty members recognized the advantage of using MirixaPro, which allowed students to experience what is required in processing a pharmacist led, billable MTM encounter.
Use of the MirixaPro system and patient cases provides students with a "hands-on" experience that may encourage them to promote MTM during their APPEs and provide MTM services as practicing pharmacists.
使用 MirixaPro（Mirixa 公司，雷斯顿，弗吉尼亚州）平台和案例研究，为药学专业学生实施和评估药物治疗管理（MTM）培训计划。
学生接受了介绍 MTM 的讲座，并对 MirixaPro 平台进行了演示。他们被分成小组，并分配了案例和时间，以采访由教师扮演的患者。学生使用 MirixaPro 系统在学期内进行了 2 次全面药物审查，记录患者当前的药物、适应症、副作用、过敏、健康状况和实验室测试建议，并制定了个人用药记录和用药行动计划。
基于一个 0-10 评分量表的评分标准，校园和远程途径的学生在第二次 MTM 练习中的平均得分为 6.3-7.4，比第一次 MTM 练习提高了 47%-54%。在定性评估中，大多数学生认为该活动增强了他们提供 MTM 的信心，而教师则认识到使用 MirixaPro 的优势，这使学生能够体验到在处理由药剂师主导的、可计费的 MTM 就诊时所需的内容。
使用 MirixaPro 系统和患者案例为学生提供了一种“实践”经验，这可能会鼓励他们在实习期间推广 MTM，并作为执业药剂师提供 MTM 服务。
