Schools

Estimated reading: 2 minutes

The Schools feature is designed to support educational dispensaries while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety, compliance, and clinical oversight. It introduces a structured workflow that allows students to gain hands-on experience under direct supervision from qualified professionals.

This model is ideal for herbal medicine schools, training clinics, and teaching dispensaries.


Core Roles

The Schools workflow is built around two primary roles:

Student Role

Students are responsible for the creation and development of formulas and products as part of their training.

Students can:

  • Research and build custom formulas or products

  • Create personalized treatments for patients

  • Submit formulas and products for review

  • Learn through structured feedback from supervisors

Students cannot dispense or finalize products on their own. Every submission must be reviewed and approved before it can move forward.


Supervisor Role

Supervisors are licensed or experienced practitioners responsible for oversight and approval.

Supervisors:

  • Review all student-created formulas and products

  • Verify ingredient selection, dosage accuracy, and preparation logic

  • Ensure compliance with safety and regulatory standards

  • Approve, reject, or request revisions

  • Provide educational feedback to support student learning

Only supervisors can authorize formulas or products for dispensing.


Approval Workflow

  1. Student creates a formula or product

  2. Submission is sent to a supervisor

  3. Supervisor reviews the submission

  4. Supervisor may:

    • Approve the submission

    • Request changes

    • Reject the submission with feedback

  5. Only approved items can be dispensed

This workflow ensures that no student-created product reaches a patient without expert review.


Patient Safety & Compliance

Patient safety is the foundation of the Schools system.

Key safety benefits include:

  • Mandatory supervisor approval for all student work

  • Reduced risk of formulation or dosage errors

  • Oversight of ingredient interactions and contraindications

  • Consistent adherence to professional and legal standards

This layered review process creates a built-in safety net while reinforcing best practices for students.


Educational Benefits

The Schools model provides:

  • Real-world clinical experience for students

  • Structured mentorship from experienced supervisors

  • A culture of accountability and peer review

  • Continuous learning through feedback and iteration

Students gain confidence and competence while supervisors ensure clinical integrity.


Summary

The Schools feature enables educational dispensaries to:

  • Train students safely and effectively

  • Protect patients through mandatory oversight

  • Maintain professional and regulatory standards

  • Combine learning with real-world clinical workflows

By pairing hands-on education with rigorous supervision, the Schools system supports both excellence in training and patient-first care.
