En el marco de la asignatura “Practicanato Profesional” de la Carrera de Farmacia de la Universidad Nacional de
Córdoba (Argentina), los alumnos del quinto año desarrollan sus prácticas en farmacias comunitarias. Allí cuentan
con farmacéuticos tutores y, entre las actividades desarrolladas, se incluye el seguimiento farmacoterapéutico de
pacientes empleando la metodología Dáder.
En este trabajo se evalúa la capacidad de los alumnos para identificar PRM, durante el año 2001, y se comparan,
para fines académicos, con los resultados presentados por farmacéuticos comunitarios en agosto de 2000.
50 alumnos realizaron la identificación de PRM supervisados por farmacéuticos tutores. De los pacientes bajo
seguimiento (n=50): 70% fueron mujeres; grupo etario predominante, de 70 a 79 años (34%); promedio de medicamentos/
paciente 7.6±2.1 (rango: 0-12); promedio de PRM identificados por paciente 5.6±5.0 (rango: 1-23).
La calidad de la enseñanza de la metodología Dáder en el pregrado arrojó resultados satisfactorios al comparar entre
alumnos y farmacéuticos.Within the framework of the subject “Practical Work Experience” forming part of the Pharmacy course at the National
University of Cordoba, Argentina, fifth year students carry out practical work in community pharmacies. This university
course, tutored by professional pharmacists, includes the pharmacotherapeutic monitoring of patients, using Dáder
methodology, as one of its activities.
In this study, the students ability to recognise Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR) is evaluated during the year 2001, and
a comparison of the results is made with those obtained from a similar study carried out by professional community
pharmacists in August of the year 2000.
50 students, supervised by pharmacist tutors, carried out the identification of ADR. Of the patients that were monitored
(n=50): 70% were women; with a predominant age group from 70 to 79 years of age (34%) and an average of medicines/
patient of 7.6±2.1 (range: 0-12); average ADR identified per patient 5.6±5.0 (range: 1-23).
The standard of the teaching, at pre-graduate level, of Dáder methodology evaluated through the comparison of results
between students and pharmacists, gave satisfactory results
