Abstract:

Intent: The purpose of the educational innovation was 1) to improve the ability of students to integrate clinical and managerial knowledge, skills and abilities 2) to incorporate current, practice-relevant topics in the pharmacy management course and 3) to improve perceived relevance, student interest and performance in the course. Process: Third-year PharmD student teams in the required pharmacy management course designed a virtual community pharmacy and included a disease management clinic (DSM) for a chronic disease assigned to each team. Teams prepared a report by responding to 10 questions ranging from epidemiology, strategic and financial planning, regulations and clinical management pathways to outcomes measurement and feasibility analysis. Responses required application of therapeutic knowledge and managerial concepts, literature evaluation and focus on patient education and communication. Assessments included grading of team reports, team presentations and of individuals based on questions to each team member by a panel of judges. Results: Evidence of success of the innovation is reflected by student performance, positive comments about the innovation, higher scores on student course evaluations and increased interest in clerkships in the area. Implications: In addition to incorporating an area of high professional relevance (DSM) to the curriculum, the assignment is innovative in design, implementation and assessment of individual and team work. Further, it helps integrate knowledge, skills and abilities learnt through the curriculum, is topical and practical, promotes teamwork and personal responsibility, and helps students better appreciate the value of management and its role in patient care, and is easily workable in any institution.
