To assess the impact of a new course designed to train student pharmacists to provide clinical patient care services delivered through collaborative drug practice agreements. An intensive two-credit, one-week course with a combined self-study and interactive pedagogical approach was developed. Content from the online Washington State Pharmacy Association Clinical Community Pharmacist training program was integrated with a live, eight-hour seminar. Student-pharmacist learning, effectiveness of content presented, and perceived value of the material were evaluated. Scores on quizzes, a knowledge assessment, a patient-case examination, pre- and post-seminar surveys, and voluntary student certification rate were collected and analyzed. Of 132 student pharmacists enrolled in the course, 121 students met competency on their first attempt at completing the knowledge assessment and 126 students met competency on their first attempt at completing the practical examination. A pre- and post-training survey found that student pharmacists were significantly more comfortable performing and recommending implementation of services after completing the course. Training student pharmacists who are competent and comfortable providing clinical patient care services can improve access to care and reduce the impact of the impending physician shortage.
评估一门新课程的影响，该课程旨在培训学生药剂师通过协作药物实践协议提供临床患者护理服务。开发了一门为期一周、两学分的强化课程，采用自学与互动教学相结合的方法。在线华盛顿州药剂师协会临床社区药剂师培训项目的内容与一个为期八小时的现场研讨会相结合。对学生药剂师的学习情况、所呈现内容的有效性以及材料的感知价值进行了评估。收集并分析了测验分数、知识评估、患者病例检查、研讨会前后的调查以及学生自愿认证率。在参加该课程的132名学生药剂师中，121名学生在首次尝试完成知识评估时达到了能力要求，126名学生在首次尝试完成实践考试时达到了能力要求。一项培训前和培训后的调查发现，学生药剂师在完成课程后，在执行和推荐服务实施方面明显更加自信。培训有能力且自信提供临床患者护理服务的学生药剂师可以改善医疗服务的可及性，并减少即将出现的医生短缺的影响。
