To create, implement and evaluate a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) course on clinical services in community pharmacy settings. A 2-credit hour elective course was offered to second- and third-year pharmacy (P2 and P3) students. The course was developed using integrated course design principles. Community pharmacists were featured prominently in the course. Student performance on quizzes was evaluated and compared between groups (2014 and 2015 cohort). A survey with a pretest posttest design was used to assess students' self-rated knowledge and self-efficacy. Twenty students enrolled in the elective course and 18 students completed the pre/post survey. There was no difference in performance scores on each of the three quizzes between students in the 2014 and 2015 courses. There was a significant increase seen for knowledge of the majority of course competencies. Students indicated improvement in their confidence to perform a variety of clinical services after course completion. Participation in this elective course allowed students to improve their knowledge of community pharmacy practice competencies and increased their ability to deliver clinical services in community pharmacy settings.
创建、实施和评估一门在社区药房环境中提供临床服务的药学博士（PharmD）课程。向第二和第三年药学专业的学生（P2 和 P3）提供一门 2 学分的选修课。该课程采用综合课程设计原则开发。社区药剂师在课程中占据突出地位。评估了学生在测验中的表现，并对不同组（2014 年和 2015 年的队列）之间的表现进行了比较。采用前后测设计的问卷调查评估了学生的自我评估知识和自我效能感。有 20 名学生选修了这门选修课，有 18 名学生完成了预/后测调查。在 2014 年和 2015 年的课程中，每个测验的成绩在学生之间没有差异。课程的大多数能力的知识得分都有显著提高。学生在课程结束后表示，他们对执行各种临床服务的信心有所提高。参与这门选修课使学生能够提高他们对社区药房实践能力的了解，并增强他们在社区药房环境中提供临床服务的能力。
