As pharmacists move toward more patient-centered care through medication therapy management (MTM), important issues and conflicts may arise within the therapeutic relationship, requiring pharmacists to use ethical knowledge and skills toward conflict-resolution. The purpose of this paper is to explore practical strategies that pharmacists and other champions of MTM may utilize to support the ethical principles of autonomy, veracity, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice, along with an ethic of care during the provision of MTM services. With a deeper understanding of ethical principles and the Code of Ethics for Pharmacists, pharmacists may be more prepared to make difficult ethical decisions, and ultimately, guide better patient care.   Type: Idea Paper

The study objectives were to determine a change in the self-perceived knowledge and skills of the third-professional year Doctor of Pharmacy students after taking a course on developing, implementing, and evaluating a disease/medication therapy management program. The study used a cross-sectional before-and-after design in which the data were collected once at the beginning of the course and then upon course completion. A self-administered questionnaire that had 4 sections and 36 questions, focusing on self-perceived knowledge and skills was administered. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 14.0. Descriptive statistics, paired sample t tests, and repeated measures analysis of variance were conducted. A total of 95 students completed the pretest, and 69 students completed the posttest. There was an overall increase in average self-perceived knowledge and skills about disease/medication therapy management programs after the students completed the course. Therefore, classes focusing on disease/medication therapy management can significantly increase the knowledge and skills about these programs for the Doctor of Pharmacy students who will soon enter professional careers and be expected to perform these services.
