The Association of American Medical Colleges has reported on the need for strengthened training in safe and effective prescribing for U.S. medical students. Recognizing this as important health care issue, the PhRMA Foundation has launched a special initiative to encourage safer and more effective prescribing through education. The initiative offers online course modules in safe and effective prescribing, which are being made available to medical, pharmacy and nursing students, as well as physicians, nurse practitioners and pharmacists nationwide.
