Abstract:
|
Objectives: The use of Internet-based interactive computer-aided-learning (CAL) to augment the training of fourth year students rotating through Advanced Practice Community (APC) clerkships was evaluated.
Methods: With APC clinical training sites serving as their own controls over 9 months, students were randomized into study and control groups. Both groups of students were administered pre-tests to evaluate and compare their baseline information for the counseling of patients in the use of inhalers and ear- and eye-drops. These products were selected because they require more sophisticated patient counseling. Those students in the study group were given an Internet address (http://cop.uams.edu/med2/index.htm) for access to ultra-short, interactive, multi-media, student controlled CAL to augment and standardize their counseling training. The training clips lasted from 1:31 to 3:51 minutes long; ideal for on-the-spot training. At the conclusion of the month-long clerkship both groups of students were administered post tests.
Results: Using paired T-tests, those students given the opportunity to self-train using the Internet-based CAL had a statistically significant increase in their counseling training at P< 0.001 and gave positive feedback about the training. The control group did not experience any statistical increase in their counseling knowledge of the research topics during their month long experience.
Implications: It is difficult for Colleges of Pharmacy to standardize and provide a consistent training experience for widely dispersed community pharmacy training sites. It was documented that through the use of CAL to augment, efficiently deliver, and standardize experiential training that outcome performances can be improved. |
