To assess the impact of a case-based toxicology elective course on student learning in related required courses and student performance on the Pharmacy Curriculum Outcomes Assessment (PCOA) examination.
A case-based clinical toxicology elective course that contained topics from 2 required courses, Pharmacology III and Pharmacotherapy II, was offered in the spring 2009 to second- and third-year pharmacy students.
Scores on the Toxicology subsection of the PCOA of students enrolled in the elective were higher than those of students not enrolled (91.3% ± 4.1 vs. 67.2% ± 5.7). Enrollment in the elective was related to increased examination scores among Pharmacotherapy II students (89.5% ± 2.0 vs. 83.9% ± 1.8). Students indicated on course survey instruments that they were satisfied with the new elective offering.
A toxicology elective provided a clinically relevant, active-learning experience for pharmacy students that addressed a curricular need within the college and increased examination scores.
评估基于案例的毒理学选修课程对相关必修课程学生学习和药学课程成果评估(PCOA)考试学生表现的影响。
2009 年春季,为二年级和三年级药学专业学生开设了一门基于案例的临床毒理学选修课程,涵盖药理学 III 和药物治疗学 II 两门必修课的内容。
选修该课程的学生在 PCOA 毒理学部分的得分高于未选修该课程的学生(91.3%±4.1%对 67.2%±5.7%)。选修该课程与药物治疗学 II 学生考试成绩的提高有关(89.5%±2.0%对 83.9%±1.8%)。学生在课程调查工具上表示,他们对新的选修课程感到满意。
毒理学选修课程为药学专业学生提供了一个具有临床相关性的主动学习体验,满足了学院课程的需求,并提高了考试成绩。
