To review the effectiveness of a pedagogical approach and methods used to teach pediatric pharmacokinetics to a large class of pharmacy students in a required course in the third-year of a bachelor of science in pharmacy program.
The pharmacokinetic sessions emphasized facilitating student understanding of the basic pharmacokinetic principles learned in earlier courses and applying that knowledge to pediatric case scenarios. This was accomplished using lectures with PowerPoint slides followed by small-group, context-focused discussions that required students to apply the principles outlined in the lecture.
Student understanding of the pharmacokinetics concepts discussed within the course was assessed via a written examination.
The small-group context-focused approach to teaching pediatric pharmacokinetics in a large class size with minimal resources allowed opportunities for students to apply their foundational knowledge in an interactive and engaging atmosphere.
回顾在一门药学学士三年级必修课程中，使用一种教学方法和手段向大量药学学生教授儿科药代动力学的效果。
药代动力学课程强调帮助学生理解在早期课程中学到的基本药代动力学原理，并将这些知识应用于儿科病例。这是通过使用带有幻灯片的讲座，然后进行小组、以背景为重点的讨论来实现的，要求学生应用讲座中概述的原则。
通过书面考试评估学生对课程中讨论的药代动力学概念的理解。
在大班规模和最少资源的情况下，采用小组以背景为重点的方法教授儿科药代动力学，为学生提供了在互动和引人入胜的氛围中应用基础知识的机会。
