Conclusion
Students appreciated the P-drug sessions but suggested improvements in the assessment process and physical environment.

- Group dynamics were generally positive, but absenteeism was an issue.
- Students wanted the P-drug training to continue into clinical years.
Takeaway

Methodology
Focus group discussions were conducted to gather student feedback on P-drug selection sessions.
Potential Biases
The facilitator was a faculty member, which may have influenced student responses.
Limitations
The study only included one semester of students and may have selection bias.
