Publication Type: Abstract Abstract: Intent: To identify the presence of grade inflation in APPEs among four colleges of pharmacy using similar evaluation tools. To examine the correlation between grade assigned, comparable student rank, and suitability for employment in an entry level pharmacy position upon graduation. Process: Final student evaluation data was extracted from EMS (Education Management System), a web-based experiential documentation system, for all APPEs completed during the 2005 – 2006 academic year. We looked at the following: calculated grade, assigned grade, comparable student ranking, employability, APPE type, APPE timing, and instructor status. Outcomes: Of 3175 APPEs, grade distribution was the following: 85.5% A, 13.3% B, 1.1% C, 0.09% D, 0.06% F. Grades for distributive APPEs were significantly higher compared to clinical or indirect APPEs (p<0.0001). Twenty-two percent of APPEs were taught by full-time faculty. 68.9% of grades assigned by full-time faculty were in the A range in comparison to 90% assigned by volunteer faculty. (p<0.001) All students receiving grades of D or F were determined “non-hirable” for an entry level position. Interestingly, 78 of 2714 receiving A’s, 103 of 422 receiving B’s, and 26 of 35 receiving C’s were also determined “non-hirable” by the instructor. For students receiving A’s, student ranking was evaluated as: top 10% (55.4%) upper third (37%), middle third (7.5%), lower third (0.2%). Implications: Grade inflation is present in APPE courses. Investigation is needed to identify why students receiving A’s and B’s were perceived as non-hirable for entry level positions. Preceptor education should include criteria for accurate assessment of student performance.
