Programs often use volume\u2010derived drug lists as a pragmatic starting point, but such lists may not fully reflect the breadth of medications encountered across diverse practice settings. The purpose of the study is to identify a consensus\u2010based foundational drug list reflective of the breadth of pharmacy practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A multi\u2010phase consensus study was conducted using the Lawshe method to establish content validity of essential drugs for a pharmacy curriculum. An initial inventory of 1381 drugs taught across an integrated therapeutics curriculum was reviewed by a nine\u2010member academic expert panel, followed by evaluation of the refined list by 10 practicing pharmacists representing diverse clinical settings. Responses were merged to form a 19\u2010member consensus panel. Drugs meeting statistical thresholds for essentiality were grouped by strength of expert agreement. The resulting list was compared with a commercially available Top 300 Drugs list using the Jaccard Similarity index.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 218 drugs achieved consensus inclusion: 78 reached unanimous consensus with a content validity ratio (CVR)\u2009=\u20091.0, 83 reached near\u2010complete consensus (CVR\u2009=\u20090.895), and 57 met the minimum consensus threshold (CVR\u2009=\u20090.789). Cardiovascular and hematology, central nervous system, and anti\u2010infective classes were most heavily represented among drugs with the strongest consensus. Comparison with the commercial list yielded a Jaccard Similarity index of 0.408 and an overlap coefficient of 0.697. Concordance with the commercial list declined as consensus strength decreased, from 85% among unanimously endorsed drugs to 65% at near\u2010complete consensus and 56% at the minimum threshold, with systematic gaps in opioid analgesics, intravenous antibiotics, and emergency and critical care medications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study provides a validated, consensus\u2010derived framework of 218 foundational drugs and a replicable methodology that programs may use or adapt.
