Description¶

The article's central design choice was incorporating "real, de-identified prescriptions" sourced from the university's educational pharmacies, with a strict de-identification protocol removing all patient and physician identifiers. Students overwhelmingly perceived these authentic materials as effective for engagement (93.5%) and learning (90.3%), reporting they helped "bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and clinical application." The authors present this as enhancing ecological validity.

Design Implications¶
