Realistic simulation in health professional education can be costly or cumbersome.
A low-cost, tablet-based simulated "virtual shelf" of over-the-counter (OTC) medications, hyperlinked to Drug Facts labels, eliminated use of physical product boxes or printed drug lists in objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE) for Doctor of Pharmacy students learning to provide OTC advice.
The application reduced instructor preparation and OSCE administration time by allowing students to tap product options instead of thumbing through medication lists. The shelf is realistic, easily updated, and transferable to other OSCEs when visual recognition is important or treatment options change frequently.
卫生专业教育中的真实模拟可能成本高昂或操作繁琐。
一个低成本的、基于平板电脑的非处方(OTC)药物模拟“虚拟货架”,与药品说明书超链接,在面向学习提供OTC建议的药学博士学生的客观结构化临床考试(OSCE)中,消除了使用实体产品包装盒或打印药品清单的情况。
该应用程序通过让学生点击产品选项而非翻阅药品清单,减少了教师的准备时间和OSCE管理时间。当视觉识别很重要或治疗选择频繁变化时,该货架逼真、易于更新且可转移到其他OSCE中。
