Hey everybody....I thought I woudl throw this one out there to get some opinions.....I am currently a PS-4 on an amb. care rotation. As part of my rotation I have to procter one room for our counseling class in the PS-2 year. Basically the students get a couple of RXs and have to counsel a "patient" on the drug and I will grade them and give comments back. The class can be fun and it's intersting to motivate people. The LARGE problem that I am having lately is the attitude from the students. THey are starting to lapse into the attitude that " the pharmacist at my store doesn't do this, so why should I" etc. I have tried just about everything; from telling them this is the way we teach poeple this so they CAN go out and do this - to change the way things are done to telling stories on how if you don't counsel about, say a glucose meter, in the first place how you may sit on the telephone for 45+ minutes later trying to explain it to the patient. What other suggestions do you all have?????
