OBJECTIVES: To evaluate changes in medical, pharmacy, and nurse practitioner students' drug-drug interaction (DDI) knowledge after attending an educational program. DESIGN: A DDI knowledge assessment containing 15 different drug pairs was administered to participants before and after a 45-minute educational session. EVALUATION: Pharmacy, medical, and nursing students scored significantly higher on the posttest assessment for DDI recognition (median change 3, 9, and 8, respectively) and management strategy (median change 5, 9, 8, respectively), indicating a significant improvement in DDI knowledge as a result of the educational session. Pharmacy students scored significantly higher on the pretest; however, no difference was observed between the students' posttest scores. Posttest scores for all student groups were significantly greater than their respective pretest scores (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Significant improvement in healthcare professional students' DDI knowledge was observed following participation in the educational session.
