Abstract
Pharmaceutical compounding is unique to the pharmacy profession, with Colleges of Pharmacy having incorporated ‘practical compounding laboratory exercises’ in their curriculum. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of repeated and instructor-independent compounding exercises for skill reinforcement, where instructors would assess the student’s grades between singly executed lab exercises versus reinforced lab exercises. The students were required to provide feedback's using anonymous surveys that judged the students on their levels of confidence, ability to overcome independent compounding issues, and improvement in skills based on singly executed exercises versus reinforced exercises.
