To describe the development, implementation, and initial outcomes of a pharmaceutical care training-of-trainers course developed to assist Ethiopian pharmacy faculty members and graduate students in the development of curriculum and provision of pharmaceutical care services of relevance to this low-income country.
In this collaboration, US and Ethiopian faculty members worked together in a week-long seminar and in hospital ward rounds to develop and offer a course to facilitate faculty members, curricular, and service development in pharmaceutical care in Ethiopia.
Assessments were conducted during the seminar, immediately post-seminar, at 3 months post-seminar, and at 1 year post-seminar. An examination was administered at the conclusion of the course to assess immediate learning outcomes for the graduate students. Post-course assessments of short-term (3-month) and longer-term (12-month) impact were conducted to identify pharmaceutical care services that had been implemented to assess knowledge and skill gained during the seminar. Correspondence between seminar participants and the US faculty members as well as graduate student thesis projects provided further evidence of changes at 3 and 12 months post-course.
Pharmaceutical care training was developed for Ethiopian faculty members through a seminar and hospital ward rounds. Enhancements have been added to curricula for bachelor in pharmacy students and select pharmaceutical care services have been implemented through master's thesis projects.
描述一门药剂学培训师培训课程的开发、实施和初步成果，该课程旨在帮助埃塞俄比亚药学教师和研究生制定与这个低收入国家相关的课程和提供药学服务。
在这项合作中，美国和埃塞俄比亚的教师在为期一周的研讨会上以及医院病房查房中共同努力，开发并提供一门课程，以促进埃塞俄比亚药学领域的教师、课程和药学服务的发展。
在研讨会期间、研讨会结束后立即、研讨会结束后 3 个月和研讨会结束后 1 年进行评估。课程结束时进行了考试，以评估研究生的即时学习成果。在课程结束后进行了短期（3 个月）和长期（12 个月）影响的评估，以确定已经实施的药学服务，以评估在研讨会上获得的知识和技能。研讨会参与者与美国教师之间的通信以及研究生论文项目提供了课程结束后 3 个月和 12 个月的变化的进一步证据。
通过研讨会和医院病房查房为埃塞俄比亚教师开发了药学培训。已在药学学士课程中增加了培训内容，并通过硕士论文项目实施了一些药学服务。
