Pharmacists' perceived knowledge of and confidence in dispensing oral antineoplastic agents

Overall, there was a lack of perceived confidence among pharmacists in counseling patients and identifying DHIs as well as with identifying ADEs with the 11 OAAs chosen for this survey. One of the main barriers identified was the lack of knowledge or training. These data provide preliminary information needed to launch educational programs in the student pharmacist curriculum (e.g., elective courses) and continuing education programs to improve overall confidence among pharmacists.
