Abstract
Objective: To describe the resident pharmacist's participation in Shared Medical Appointments (SMA) in palliative care.
Methods: The resident pharmacist participated in face-to-face SMA with the attending physician, medical and gerontology students, and a nurse.
Key findings: The resident pharmacist supported interdisciplinary discussions and performed pharmaceutical interventions. He helped raise awareness about the effective, safe, and convenient use of medicines, helping improve the quality of life of patients and caregivers.
Conclusions: Providing pharmaceutical care to patients in palliative care helped to improve the quality of clinical services offered to these patients, as well as adding value to resident pharmacists' interprofessional practice.
