Indeed, I work with interns, and every year I am dismayed that the study hasn’t caught up with society yet. I always try to add in what I can in discussions - and even gave feedback to the intern training program last year. I’ll be adding this scenario to the repertoire for sure.

Fascinating, and I think that scenarios like this should be the ones we see in intern exams and other places to help make the profession more aware. If any exam writers are here - take note!

Thank you so much! I completely agree — scenarios like this reflect the real-world complexities pharmacists are navigating, especially with the rise of social media influencing health behaviors. Including cases like these in intern exams or CPD activities could really help shift our professional thinking to be more proactive, nuanced, and inclusive.
