The student has 12 minutes to complete each station. During the prescription drug situation, the patient is consulted and the information required for the consultation is searched in electronic resources. Each pharmaceutical care situation is evaluated with a mark in accordance with the developed evaluation criteria. The average assessment of the marks of both situations makes up the resultant assessment of examination. If one of the mandatory criteria is not met during patient counseling, the risk to the patient should be assessed.
