To describe the development and assessment of an online elective health informatics course and determine its potential for universal integration into doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) curricula.
A 2-credit hour online elective course was developed and offered to all PharmD students; voiced-over Powerpoint lectures were used to deliver content.
Assessment of student performance was measured using quantitative metrics via discussion questions, quizzes, written papers, and examinations. Qualitative findings were measured through discussion questions, a goal-setting classroom assessment technique, and an end-of-course reflection. Students report finding value in the course and recognizing how the knowledge gained could impact their future practice as pharmacists.
An online course in health informatics can be an effective way to deliver content and provide a blueprint for continued integration of the content into curricula.
描述一门在线选修健康信息学课程的开发与评估,并确定其普遍融入药学博士(PharmD)课程的潜力。
开发了一门2学分的在线选修课程并提供给所有药学博士学生;使用配有旁白的Powerpoint讲座来授课。
通过讨论问题、测验、书面论文和考试,使用定量指标来衡量学生的表现。通过讨论问题、目标设定课堂评估技术和课程结束时的反思来衡量定性结果。学生报告称在课程中找到了价值,并认识到所获得的知识会如何影响他们未来作为药剂师的实践。
健康信息学在线课程可以是一种有效的授课方式,并为将该内容持续融入课程提供蓝图。
