Objectives: The aim of this study was to collect the expectations of trainees in general practice towards their observation period in a community pharmacy, in order to contribute to a new definition of the objectives of this training period.
Methods: Data were collected using the nominal group technique. The eleven participants were ninth-year general medical students.
Results: Forty-six proposals were made and ranked according to priority and popularity, resulting in the selection of fourteen.
Conclusions: The fourteen proposals selected can be classified into 4 main categories: the pharmaceutical act, primary care and patient support, the operation of a pharmacy and the diversity of the activities of dispensing pharmacies. The proposals support the development of interprofessional communication and should make it possible to improve the teaching guidelines for observation periods.
Keywords: Community pharmacy; General practice; Interprofessional practice; Interprofessional training.
