Demonstrate mastery of drug classes, mechanisms of action, and clinical application principles. Proof requires: (a) drug class summary cards covering at least 8 major drug classes (mechanism, indications, contraindications, key side effects — created independently, not copied from a textbook); and (b) a prescribing rationale for a realistic clinical scenario: given a patient presentation, justify the drug choice, dose rationale, and monitoring plan in writing. Reviewed by a medical professional or clinical pharmacologist who MUST challenge the rationale with real-time follow-up questions (e.g. 'what would you change if this patient also had renal impairment?' or 'why did you choose this drug class over the alternative?'). The reviewer's Q&A exchange — not the written document alone — is the proof artifact that demonstrates understanding. The proof is the reasoning, not a prescription to be implemented.
