Exploring the role of pharmacy students using entrustable professional activities to complete medication histories and deliver patient counselling services in secondary care
Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) allow tasks to be delegated to trainees. A new model of pharmacy placements was developed that used EPAs to appropriately supervise students providing patient counselling for inhalers, anticoagulation and simple analgesia at a tertiary care hospital.
