Comprehensive care for patients with diabetes in Ramadan: A module for pharmacy students and pharmacists.

Introduction: Prior studies show that many patients with diabetes whose health maybe impacted by fasting, choose to fast during Ramadan. This study describes the implementation and evaluation of an online module targeting bachelor of pharmacy (BPharm) and doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) students that aims to improve participants' knowledge, communication, and self-efficacy concerning proper care for patients with diabetes in Ramadan.

Methods: An online module consisting of two phases targeting both BPharm and PharmD students was implemented over two semesters in fall 2020 and spring 2021.

Addressing cultural competence and bias in treating migrant workers in pharmacies: Pharmacy students learning and changing norms.

Objective: Little research addressed training pharmacy students on bias towards vulnerable patients such as migrant domestic workers (MDWs). This study evaluates a module addressing bias and cultural competence when working with MDWs in community pharmacies.

Methods: Two cohorts of Lebanese Bachelor of pharmacy students completed this module as part of a core Public Health class.

Perspectives on an amended law addressing pharmacists' availability in community pharmacies.

Rationale, Aims, And Objectives: Little attention has been given to perceptions of pharmacist availability and role in the community setting following policy changes. The Pakistani model is particularly interesting as it encompasses three different pharmacy practice licensure types with major differences in credentials, training, and role. Guided by the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), this study examined factors associated with the availability of pharmacists in the community setting in Pakistan following the implementation of a new policy regulating pharmacist presence in community pharmacies.
