What is the Student Version of MAPflow?

The MAPflow student version is a purpose built teaching tool. It gives pharmacy students access to minor ailment, OTC, and chronic disease management algorithms so they can complete assessments, document real cases, select treatment plans, and simulate patient follow ups.

In short, students learn the same structured clinical workflow that practising pharmacists rely on every day, all inside an environment designed for learning. By the time they graduate, the assessment and prescribing process already feels familiar.

Evidence Based Content With Teaching Notes

The student version contains evidence based best practices with extensive notes that educate and guide students as they learn to perform patient care assessments. It also provides examples of completed documentation that mirror what students will use in real practice, so the step from classroom to counter feels natural.

A Safe Space to Build Confidence

Students learn in a safe environment where mistakes become lessons, not risks. As they work through cases with unparalleled guidance on best practices, developed by pharmacist experts, they build the confidence and competence they need to deliver patient care from day one.

Flexible for Every Curriculum

Schools can build case based modules around their own course objectives, with MAPflow as a key part of the workflow. And because students get access to every algorithm available in their province, your program can teach the full scope of practice students will step into after graduation.

Proven in Canadian Pharmacy Classrooms

Studies have proven that MAPflow's student version offers scalable, province specific ways to bridge curriculum gaps as the pharmacist scope of practice continues to expand. Research spanning 550+ students across two major Canadian pharmacy schools, the University of Toronto and the University of Waterloo, found students consistently benefited from the use of MAPflow.

  • Increased confidence in minor ailment prescribing
  • Enhanced competence in patient assessment
  • Improved documentation and communication skills
  • Recognition of MAPflow as a valuable self directed learning tool
University of Toronto

Independent Use Model

At the University of Toronto's Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, MAPflow was offered as a self directed learning tool across a second year required course and a third year elective, where students independently simulated prescribing scenarios. Post course surveys pointed to increased confidence and competence in minor ailment prescribing, and students highlighted MAPflow as a valuable way to reinforce clinical concepts, prepare for exams, and practise real patient care skills.

University of Waterloo

Structured Model

At the University of Waterloo School of Pharmacy, MAPflow anchored a structured, competency based assessment in a second year required course using standardized patient labs. Facilitators found that guided MAPflow use strengthened communication and documentation skills more effectively than independent exploration alone.
