Abstract
Background and purposePharmacists positively impact the care of animal patients through provision of compounded medications. While veterinary pharmacy elective courses are available within some doctor of pharmacy programs, none to date have emphasized veterinary compounding. This article describes the design and implementation of a veterinary pharmacy elective course with a focus on veterinary compounding. Educational activity and setting:This elective course took place over one weekend. Didactic lectures related to various aspects of veterinary pharmacy were presented. Students participated in three compounding laboratory sessions and learned about various aspects of veterinary compounding, including legal considerations. Evaluations were completed by students following the conclusion of the course. FindingsEight students successfully completed this pilot course. Students highly evaluated the course and derived benefit from the compounding lab component. SummaryPositioning compounding content into a veterinary pharmacy elective course may benefit institutions looking to enrich their compounding curricula while simultaneously providing important veterinary pharmacy education to their students.
