Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) are being implemented in pharmacy schools across the country. As part of a new curriculum, a practical with an OSCE component was implemented for the first time at the West Virginia University School of Pharmacy.
A practical with an OSCE component was developed for first-year professional pharmacy students in a foundational pharmacy skills course. The OSCE component assessed insulin and inhaler counseling and blood pressure skills. A written exam covered material from throughout the semester.
A total of 76 students completed the practical. The average grade was a 27.8 out of 30 points. A total of 62 faculty hours were needed for the implementation of this OSCE.
An OSCE that assessed a variety of foundational pharmacy skills was designed and implemented to first year pharmacy students using limited faculty time and resources.
客观结构化临床考试(OSCE)正在全国各药学院实施。作为新课程的一部分,西弗吉尼亚大学药学院首次在一门基础药学技能课程中开展了包含OSCE环节的实践课。
为基础药学技能课程的一年级专业药学学生开发了一门包含OSCE环节的实践课。OSCE环节评估胰岛素和吸入器咨询以及血压测量技能。书面考试涵盖了整个学期的内容。
共有76名学生完成了该实践课。平均成绩为30分中的27.8分。实施该OSCE总共需要62个教师工时。
设计并实施了一项评估多种基础药学技能的OSCE,供一年级药学学生使用,所用教师时间和资源有限。
