First professional year student Pharmacists' approaches to resolving drug diversion incidents in a community pharmacy simulation.

Pharmacists are crucial in preventing and managing drug diversion but may lack adequate training and confidence in addressing these incidents. This study aimed to evaluate first-year pharmacy students' approaches to resolving drug diversion scenarios using Kings' six models of criminal justice: Medical, Bureaucratic, Status Passage, Power, Due Process, and Crime Control models.
