Abstract:

Objectives: First professional year student pharmacists at the Harrison School of Pharmacy are required to complete the APhA Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery Certificate Program. An online delivery method for presenting the majority of this certificate program was developed in order to maximize student time spent in the skills lab and to promote self-directed learning. Methods: Over 10 weeks, students were provided with four online two-hour faculty narrated slide presentations followed by two two-hour “live” lab sessions. Students were given two weeks to view each presentation and complete a web-based quiz. An online discussion board was created and monitored by participating faculty to provide a forum for students to discuss material and ask questions. Two lab sessions were held to practice reading immunization schedules through case discussion and to review immunization administration technique. Supplemental review sessions were also held by students who had previously completed the training. In order for students to successfully complete the course, each must achieve an average of 70% on four quizzes, score at least 70% on the final exam, and demonstrate competence with intramuscular and subcutaneous injection technique. Results: A program assessment will be completed upon conclusion of the program to determine student satisfaction with the delivery method. Student performance will also be compared to students who completed the program last year when the material was presented in five two-hour live class sessions. Implications: An online delivery method allows students to self-pace their learning and allows more time for emphasis on skills development.
