Application for the RX Games: 2026 Annual RX GAMES – Fill out form

 

Pharmily Feud is a fast-paced, interactive game played just like Family Feud, with a pharmacy twist.

Two teams compete against each other by answering pharmacy-related questions. Each question is based on popular survey responses, and the goal is to guess the most common answers. Teams take turns sending one player to the front to “face off.” The first player to buzz in with the top answer gets control of the board.

MedMIX comprises a case study integrating a laboratory activity with a counseling component to evaluate participants' compounding and patient-centered care skills. Players are guided through the process of creating troches for a patient and subsequently explaining the procedure to them. Evaluation criteria encompass both the successful creation of the troches and the demonstration of soft skills throughout the interaction.
