Having undergraduate medical students participate in small group discussions (SGDs) can improve their ability to audit prescriptions, as they are expected to master an overwhelming quantity of material in a short time. Small group discussions are a useful instructional strategy for improving prescription auditing skills in first-year medical students, providing increased levels of involvement and engagement, enhanced capabilities in both analytical thinking and problem-solving, and improved capacity to recognise possible problems or inaccuracies in prescribed drug regimens. Small group discussions provide a learning environment that encourages critical thinking and problem-solving, making them a useful tool for medical students to improve their skills in prescription auditing. Small group discussions are an efficient way for medical students to improve their clinical knowledge and abilities by learning from their classmates and sharing the information and experiences they have gained. The research was carried out with 70 MBBS students in their second year, divided into two groups and conducted over eight weeks. The significance of the difference between the two groups' average scores was determined by statistical analysis. The study found that MBBS students in their second year have the potential to improve their skills in prescription auditing if small group discussions are presented and put into practice. Small group discussions are an efficient method for strengthening prescription auditing skills in MBBS students, providing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
