Pharmacy Student Perceptions and Knowledge of Online Pharmacy Use

Objective. Currently, there is no set of accreditation standards for integrating the dangers of illegal online pharmacies into Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) curricula. As a result, many pharmacists are unable to recognize the differences between a legal and illegal online pharmacy or educate patients on the dangers of online pharmacies. The objectives of this study were to assess gaps in student pharmacists’ knowledge and to assess the impact of adding education regarding online pharmacies into PharmD programs.
