Publication Type: School Poster Abstract: In the 3rd year of pharmacy school, an elective was initiated through a grant obtained by students, which integrates didactic learning, interdisciplinary training and direct patient care. Through the elective, students became an essential part of a diabetes education and management program at a local indigent clinic that serves a majority Hispanic population. The two hour weekly program, which lasted for one month, included education on medications, exercise, diet recommendations, and stress management. Each session was offered in English and Spanish. Additionally, this course furthered the Loma Linda University mission “to make man whole” by focusing on fundamentals to improve patients’ quality of life. Didactic learning incorporated topics such as collaborative practice, protocols, and comprehensive review of diabetes. Interdisciplinary training involved working with professionals and students from various disciplines including nurse practitioners, nutritionists, and physicians. Student pharmacists provided direct patient care through participant interviews, counseling, and measurement of laboratory values using point-of-care devices. Students also collected data regarding interventions and tracked improvement of patients. In subsequent years, the elective may be adapted based on the status of the grant. Next year, the didactic portion of the class is proposed to increase and the experiential portion reduced. Results in patients showed a decreased total cholesterol, A1c, and triglycerides; and increased HDL, LDL, and weight. Furthermore, an increase in patient knowledge of diabetes, better food choices, and the benefits of exercise were illustrated. Both patients and students reported positive experiences and enjoyed the collaboration between patients, providers, and students.
