International audienceINTRODUCTION: In France, community pharmacy students performed a hospital pharmacy practice experience during the 5th year of the university curriculum. The purpose of a part of the content of the academic teaching program delivered before this practice experience is to prepare the students for their future hospital activities. It should enable them for the practical use of knowledge in order to improve pharmacotherapy, laboratory diagnosis and monitoring of patients' care. The aim of this study was to show if there are gaps in this program. METHODS: Fourteen students performing their clerkship in a teaching hospital were invited to highlight these gaps when they were gradually immersed in the pharmaceutical care. They did so under the careful observation of hospital pharmacist preceptors. These practitioners referred to professional guidelines, documentary tools used in daily clinical practice and publications supporting their pharmaceutical care practices. RESULTS: Shortcomings and gaps identified were: how to communicate with other healthcare professionals and the content of verbal exchanges, how to conduct a patient-centered consultation, documentation tools required for relevant pharmacist' interventions, codification of pharmacist's interventions, risks related to drug packaging and benefit risk assessment of health information technologies. DISCUSSION: These gaps represent a handicap by delaying the process that led to move from student to healthcare professional. Hospital pharmacist preceptors have to fill in these gaps before engaging students in pharmaceutical care. CONCLUSION: These results invite to revise partly the content of the academic teaching program delivered before the 5th year hospital pharmacy practice experience.
IntroductionLe contenu de l’enseignement dispensé au cours des études de pharmacie doit permettre l’utilisation pratique des connaissances acquises, dans un souci d’amélioration du soin médicamenteux. L’objectif de ce travail a été de mettre en lumière les lacunes que présentent les étudiants de la filière officine débutant leur stage hospitalier de 5e année.MéthodeQuatorze étudiants en stage de 5e année accompli dans un CHU ont été invités à mettre en lumière ces lacunes au fur et à mesure de leur immersion dans le soin médicamenteux. Ils l’ont fait sous l’observation attentive des praticiens hospitaliers les encadrant. Ces praticiens se sont appuyés sur des référentiels métiers, des outils documentaires employés en routine clinique et des publications leur ayant servi à asseoir leurs pratiques de soins pharmaceutiques.RésultatsLes insuffisances ou lacunes identifiées ont été : la forme et le contenu de la communication avec d’autres professionnels de santé, la forme de la communication avec les patients, la faible appropriation des outils documentaires indispensables à une pratique clinique pertinente, la méconnaissance de la codification des interventions pharmaceutiques, les risques liés au conditionnement des médicaments et les avancées et dangers liés aux technologies de l’information.DiscussionCes lacunes constituent un handicap retardant le processus qui conduit à passer du stade d’étudiant au stade de professionnel de santé. Il revient aux praticiens hospitaliers la nécessité de combler ces lacunes avant immersion totale en situation de soin.ConclusionCes résultats invitent à réviser partiellement le contenu du programme d’enseignement dispensé avant la 5e année.

Blended Learning: Reflections on Teaching Experiences across the Pharmacy Education ContinuumTheresa J. Schindel; Christine A. Hughes; Cheryl A. Sadowski (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2013-10-01)Experiences with online learning in higher education have grown due to advancements in technology, technological savviness of students, changes in student expectations, and evolution of teaching approaches in higher education. Blended learning, the thoughtful fusion of face-to-face instruction with online learning, can enhance student learning and provide rewarding teaching experiences for faculty members. Pharmacy educators are beginning to employ blended learning across the continuum of professional education from entry-to-practice programs to continuing professional education programs. The objectives of this paper are to describe our early experiences with blended learning and how it has enhanced our teaching experiences. Possibilities for blended learning are considered as new curricula for pharmacy programs are developed at our institution.

Evaluation of a Continuing Professional Development program for first year student pharmacists undergoing an Introductory Pharmacy Practice ExperienceToyin Tofade, MS, PharmD, BCPS, CPCC, Pharmacotherapy Director, Wake Area Health Education Center and Clinical Associate Professor, Division of Pharmacy Practice and Experiential Education; Brianna Franklin, student, fourth professional year; Bennett Noell, student, fourth professional year 1; Kim Leadon, MEd, Clinical Assistant Professor and Director of Experiential Education, Division of Pharmacy Practice and Experiential Education (University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy, 2011-01-01)Objectives: The purpose of the study was to evaluate a live and online training program for first year pharmacy students in implementing Continuing Professional Development (CPD) principles (Reflect, Plan, Act, and Evaluate), writing SMART learning objectives, and documenting learning activities prior to and during a hospital introductory professional practice experience.Design: Cohort Study. Setting: Introductory professional practice experience. Participants: First year (PY1) students at the University of North Carolina Eshelman School of Pharmacy. Intervention: Live training or online training to introduce the concept of Continuing Professional Development in practice. Main Outcomes: Implementation of CPD principles through 1) completed pre-rotation education action plans with specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound (SMART) learning objectives; and 2) completed learning activity worksheets post-rotation indicating stimuli for learning, resources used and accomplished learning. objectives; and 3) documented suggestions and content feedback for future lectures and pharmaceutical care lab experiences. Results: Out of the whole cohort (N=154), 14 (87.5%) live (in person) trainees and 122 (88%) online trainees submitted an education action plan. Objectives were scored using a rubric on a scale of 1-5. A rating of 5 means “satisfactory”, 3 means “work in progress” and 1 means “unacceptable”. There were significant differences between the mean live trainee scores and the mean online trainee scores for the following respective section comparisons: Specific 4.7 versus 3.29 (p<0.001); Measurable 3.9 versus 2.05 (p<0.001); number of objectives 3.6 versus 4.6 (p<0.001); and average grade 92.9 versus 77.7 (p<0.001). Of the 396 learning activity worksheets reviewed, 75% selected discussion with peers and/or health providers as a stimulus for learning. Students reported spending an average of 50.2 hours completing the learning objectives. All of the pre-stated objectives were fulfilled completely or partially. Conclusion: Live trainees performed significantly better than online trainees in writing SMART learning objectives. With focused training, students are more capable of implementing principles of CPD.

Self-Directed Online Learning Modules: Students’ Behaviours and ExperiencesStephen Maloney; Joanna Hong-Meng Tai; Sophie Paynter; Kristin Lo; Dragan Ilic (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2013-07-01)Academic programs are experiencing pressure to produce efficiencies in education by incorporating online learning. Simply transplanting a text-based resource to an online setting by itself does not necessarily provide an effective online learning environment. In collaboration with clinical educators, our academic team constructed an online learning activity designed to reinforce allied health student knowledge of pharmacology. However, anecdotal reports from students entering the clinical environment indicated poor engagement with the online resources. These reports prompted the need for a method of formal analysis of student engagement and insights into student preferences and behaviours with online learning. Through auditing online usage data and survey analysis, our study determines a set of practical recommendations for the design of online resources, and their implementation, in order optimise their utilization and educational value.
