To use a drug information center training module to teach evidence-based medicine to pharmacy students and to assess their satisfaction with the experience.
During the 5-week module, students were taught how to develop information search strategies and to conduct critical analysis of scientific papers. The instructors developed activities based on past requests received by the university's Drug Information Center. The complexity of the assignments increased throughout the module.
One hundred twenty-one students were trained between August 2009 and July 2010. Sixty-seven (55.4%) completed a voluntary assessment form at the completion of the 5-week module. Students' feedback was positive, with 11 students suggesting that the module be integrated into the undergraduate curriculum. The most frequently (52.2%) mentioned area of dissatisfaction was with the performance of computers in the computer laboratory.
The drug information center training module was an effective tool for teaching evidence-based medicine to pharmacy students. Additional research is needed to determine whether graduates are able to apply the knowledge and skills learned in the module to the pharmacy practice setting.
使用药物信息中心培训模块向药学学生教授循证医学,并评估他们对该经验的满意度。
在为期 5 周的模块中,学生们被教授如何制定信息搜索策略和对科学论文进行批判性分析。讲师根据大学药物信息中心过去收到的请求开发了活动。随着模块的进行,作业的复杂性逐渐增加。
2009 年 8 月至 2010 年 7 月期间培训了 121 名学生。67 名(55.4%)学生在完成 5 周的模块后填写了一份自愿评估表。学生的反馈是积极的,有 11 名学生建议将该模块纳入本科课程。最常(52.2%)提到的不满意领域是计算机实验室中计算机的性能。
药物信息中心培训模块是向药学学生教授循证医学的有效工具。需要进一步研究以确定毕业生是否能够将模块中学到的知识和技能应用于药学实践环境中。
