Student-Generated E-Learning For Clinical Education, Sarah Nisly, Alex N. Isaacs, Alison M. Walton
Student-Generated E-Learning For Clinical Education, Sarah Nisly, Alex N. Isaacs, Alison M. Walton
Scholarship and Professional Work – COPHS
Background
Within clinical education, e-learning facilitates a standardised learning experience to augment the clinical experience while enabling learner and teacher flexibility. With the shift of students from consumers to creators, student-generated content is expanding within higher education; however, there is sparse literature evaluating the impact of student-developed e-learning within clinical education. The aim of this study was to implement and evaluate a student-developed e-learning clinical module series within ambulatory care clinical pharmacy experiences.
Methods
Three clinical e-learning modules were developed by students for use prior to clinical experiences. E-learning modules were created by fourth-year professional pharmacy students and reviewed by …
Design Of Drug-Induced Diseases Elective Utilizing Active Learning, Alison M. Walton, Alex N. Isaacs, Annette T. Mcfarland, Lauren M. Czosnowski, Sarah A. Nisly
Design Of Drug-Induced Diseases Elective Utilizing Active Learning, Alison M. Walton, Alex N. Isaacs, Annette T. Mcfarland, Lauren M. Czosnowski, Sarah A. Nisly
Scholarship and Professional Work – COPHS
Objectives
To describe active learning utilized in a drug-induced diseases (DID) elective and determine inter-rater reliability of the assessment rubric for oral case-based presentations.
Methods
The design of this DID elective focuses on problem-based learning to enhance students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills pertaining to the treatment of inducible diseases and general medicine. Each class incorporates active learning, utilization of drug information resources, and group work. The primary course assessment is student developed oral case-based presentations evaluated with a standard rubric.
Results
The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated amongst evaluators to assess the inter-rater reliability of the DID rubric …
Interactive Web-Based Learning Modules Prior To General Medicine Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences, Alex N. Isaacs, Alison M. Walton, Sarah A. Nisly
Interactive Web-Based Learning Modules Prior To General Medicine Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences, Alex N. Isaacs, Alison M. Walton, Sarah A. Nisly
Scholarship and Professional Work – COPHS
Objective. To implement and evaluate interactive web-based learning modules prior to advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs) on inpatient general medicine.
Design. Three clinical web-based learning modules were developed for use prior to APPEs in 4 health care systems. The aim of the interactive modules was to strengthen baseline clinical knowledge before the APPE to enable the application of learned material through the delivery of patient care.
Assessment. For the primary endpoint, postassessment scores increased overall and for each individual module compared to preassessment scores. Postassessment scores were similar among the health care systems. The survey demonstrated positive student perceptions of …

Hypertension Management: Making Sense Of Guidelines And Therapy Options For The Elderly, Miranda Arthur, Lindsay Saum, Jessica E. Wilhoite
Scholarship and Professional Work – COPHS
Goal: The goal of this activity is to increase the awareness of the pharmacist on the complications surrounding hypertension management in the elderly individual, clarify the differences in current guideline recommendations, and aid in making the most appropriate drug therapy decisions regarding the management of hypertension.
Evaluation And Revision Of An Introduction To Experiential Rotations Course, Eliza A. Dy, Sarah Nisly
Evaluation And Revision Of An Introduction To Experiential Rotations Course, Eliza A. Dy, Sarah Nisly
Scholarship and Professional Work – COPHS
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the perceived student value of topics taught in Butler University’s Introduction to Experiential Rotations (RX500) course, implement course revisions to address any perceived weaknesses, and to reassess the course following implementation of those course revisions. Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE) students from Butler University’s 2012 doctorate of pharmacy class were initially surveyed to assess the perceived usefulness and design of RX500. Based on the findings of the initial data, course revisions were developed and implemented for the following semester’s RX500 course. In order to assess for potential changes in the perceived value …
Association Between Applications Scores And Positive Onsite Interviews Of Pharmacy Residency Applicants, Sarah Nisly, Meredith L. Howard, Alex N. Issacs, Tate Trujillo
Association Between Applications Scores And Positive Onsite Interviews Of Pharmacy Residency Applicants, Sarah Nisly, Meredith L. Howard, Alex N. Issacs, Tate Trujillo
Scholarship and Professional Work – COPHS
Application to pharmacy residency programs has become increasingly competitive over the past several years. Although successful candidates must excel in the various stages of the application process, preparing written applications and securing onsite interviews are early and arguably the most difficult steps. Residency programs vary in the criteria used for offering onsite interviews. The majority of insight into this topic comes from surveys of residency program directors, but corresponding analyses of interview offers have been minimal...

Dietary Supplement Education In A Senior Population, Kimberly G. Elder, Sarah A. Nisly
Dietary Supplement Education In A Senior Population, Kimberly G. Elder, Sarah A. Nisly
Scholarship and Professional Work – COPHS
Background. Dietary supplements are widely used among United States senior citizens for various indications. Potential dangers with supplement use include the lack of regulation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the possibility for drug-supplement interactions. Senior focused education may in- crease the safe use of dietary supplements by older adults.
Objective. The primary objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a pharmacist driven educational seminar in a local senior population.
Methods. Participants aged 55 years and older in one of three senior programs were eligible for inclusion. Initially, a needs-assessment interview was con- ducted …
Assessment Of Web-Based Training (Wbt) Modules On Learning Facilitation For Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (Appe) In Pediatrics, Jennifer L. Morris, Chad A. Knoderer
Assessment Of Web-Based Training (Wbt) Modules On Learning Facilitation For Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (Appe) In Pediatrics, Jennifer L. Morris, Chad A. Knoderer
Scholarship and Professional Work – COPHS
OBJECTIVES: To assess the effectiveness of web-based training (WBT) modules to enhance and facilitate student pharmacists’ learning and their ability to provide pharmaceutical care to children during a pediatric advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE).
METHODS: Pediatric-specific WBT modules were developed for completion by APPE students during a 4- week rotation. Pediatric modules covered developmental pharmacology; antimicrobial use and monitoring; fluids, electrolytes, and dehydration; and drug information. Students were responsible for completing all modules within the first week of the APPE. Preassessments and postassessments consisted of 8 to 10 multiple-choice questions, with scores ranging from 0 to 100 points. Data were …
Mandatory Pharmacy Residencies: One Way To Reduce Medication Errors, Rami B. Ibrahim, Lilian Baghat-Ibrahim, David J. Reeves
Mandatory Pharmacy Residencies: One Way To Reduce Medication Errors, Rami B. Ibrahim, Lilian Baghat-Ibrahim, David J. Reeves
Scholarship and Professional Work – COPHS
We read with disbelief about a newly graduated pharmacist dispensing 30 times the amount of injectable sodium bicarbonate intended, an error that led to a patient’s death.1 As clinicians, we wondered what clinical scenario might mandate the large amount of sodium bicarbonate dispensed—the answer was none. So why did the pharmacist dispense it? The answer is all too clear: With rare exceptions, institutional pharmacists nationwide are largely focused on dispensing. Postgraduate clinical training in the basic aspects of pharmacotherapy is scarce and not viewed as essential. Inadequate pharmacist training and a staffing shortage were suggested as contributing to the …
