Pharmacists can intercept prescription errors before they reach patients. This study found that an educational intervention that combined didactic lecture and simulation methods enhanced first-year pharmacy students' ability to identify prescribing errors. These results demonstrate the value of developing pharmacy education to improve patient safety.
