It is widely believed that medical students are not as well prepared or as sufficiently skilled in prescribing as they should be at the outset of their careers. However, a preclinical context‐learning pharmacotherapy program has been found to improve students’ therapeutic skills during an ensuing clinical clerkship in internal medicine. 1 In this Commentary, we argue that a similar approach during a clinical clerkship may further enhance therapeutic skills at the end of the clerkship.
