Abstract:

Objective: To explore whether exams measuring student knowledge and skills predicted level of pharmacy students’ performance in advanced pharmacy practice experiences.
Methods: Data from 133 members of the class of 2007 from University of Wisconsin-Madison were analyzed. Student performance in required hospital- and community-based advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs) was examined. Outcome data were gathered using a standard evaluation tool completed by the clinical instructor at the midpoint and conclusion of 8-week rotations. Student performance was evaluated in 9 areas which reflected three dimensions: professional, clinical, and technical performance. Predictors were 1) student knowledge (measured as P-3 pharmacotherapy exam performance), 2) student skill (measured as P-3 OSCE performance), and 3) timing of the rotation (blocks 1-6). Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) using a random coefficient model was employed to analyze data. Timing of rotation was the macro- (level-2) unit. Student knowledge, student skills, and midpoint and final evaluation scores were the micro- (level-1) units.
Results: In hospital-based APPEs, student knowledge was a significant predictor of overall, professional and clinical performance at the midpoint. Midpoint performance was a significant predictor of final performance in these areas. Student skill was significant only in predicting final technical performance. Timing of rotation had no significance. In community-based APPEs, neither student knowledge nor skill was a significant predictor of performance at the midpoint. Student knowledge, timing of rotation and midpoint performance were significant predictors of final performance overall.
Implications: Varying results of this pilot study suggest that further research into predictors of APPE performance is needed. |
