To (1) describe the development of a Video-based Clinical Examination (VCE) as a formal testing format to evaluate student ability to make an accurate pharmaceutical assessment and recommendation, and (2) determine student perception of the VCE testing format.
Descriptive study of first-year pharmacy students.
One hundred and twenty-nine students were included in the study. Students perceived that the VCE testing format provided a real life/interactive environment but felt rushed as the video segments of the patient/pharmacist interaction occurred quickly.
Based on the findings of this project, we will continue to pursue further research related to validity, reliability and application of VCEs. However, the University of Colorado will continue to incorporate VCEs in the performance based evaluations in the Professional Skills Development 1 course, as it appears to be an effective stepping-stone for first-year students to begin developing their active listening, higher level learning and problem-solving skills. Results of this project will be shared with the faculty and curriculum committee at the University of Colorado School of Pharmacy to encourage further use and research of VCEs in other courses.
(1)描述基于视频的临床检查(VCE)作为一种正式测试形式的发展情况,以评估学生进行准确药学评估和推荐的能力;(2)确定学生对VCE测试形式的看法。
对一年级药学专业学生进行描述性研究。
129名学生参与了该研究。学生们认为VCE测试形式提供了一个真实生活/互动的环境,但由于患者/药剂师互动的视频片段播放速度很快,他们感觉很匆忙。
基于该项目的研究结果,我们将继续开展与VCE的有效性、可靠性和应用相关的进一步研究。然而,科罗拉多大学将继续在专业技能发展1课程的基于表现的评估中纳入VCE,因为它似乎是一年级学生开始培养积极倾听、高级学习和解决问题技能的有效垫脚石。该项目的结果将与科罗拉多大学药学院的教师和课程委员会分享,以鼓励在其他课程中进一步使用和研究VCE。
