The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Background

A rise in new schools of pharmacy has led to implementation of new curriculums. Pharmacy schools must adhere to standards set by the Accreditation Council of Pharmacy Education in order to provide knowledge of foundational sciences and prepare pharmacy students for the future. Prerequisites are typically foundational science courses taken early in the program so that students have the knowledge necessary to be excellent pharmacists. Within the Cedarville University School of Pharmacy, Biochemistry is a prerequisite course for Integrated Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology (PCoMedChem).

Objectives

The goal of this study is to determine if Biochemistry should remain a prerequisite …

Effects Of High-Fidelity Simulation On Student Perceptions Of Interprofessional Education, Trevor Stump, Mckenzie Shenk, Karissa C. Chow, Becky Brown

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Background: Interprofessional education is gaining momentum in healthcare education through the accreditation standards for various health professions and requirements from government initiatives like the Affordable Care Act. The role of high-fidelity simulation in healthcare education is growing and serves as a mechanism to implement interprofessional education.

Purpose: Assess the change in healthcare students’ perceptions of interprofessional education following a high-fidelity emergency medicine simulation.

Methods: Students from a medical, nursing, and pharmacy school participated in a high fidelity simulation event. There was first a brief presentation on interdisciplinary teamwork. The Student Perceptions of Interprofessional Clinical Education-Revised 2 (SPICE-R 2) was administered …
