Student pharmacist opioid risk consultations: a pre-post educational intervention study.

Objectives: The primary aim was to assess third year student pharmacists' communication skills about opioid risks and safety before and after an educational intervention. This assessment was utilized to identify gaps that skills training programmes need to address for students and pharmacists.

Methods: Seventy-one students in 2018 (pre-intervention/baseline) and 133 students in 2019 (post-intervention) were videotaped during consultation with standardized patients receiving opioid medications for low back pain.
