To graduate, pharmacy technician students write a project in their third year. They choose between six elective courses, and work with a subject related to their education and everyday practice at community or hospital pharmacies. In this article, we report the mapping of third-year project themes and provide an overview of the challenges that COVID-19 pandemic restrictions have had on completing the projects. On the basis of all project titles, a list of themes was generated and described before all projects were allocated to one of the themes. Challenges experienced due to the COVID-19 pandemic were investigated from an analytical workshop where supervisors discussed their experience with supervising students throughout the completion of the projects. In total, 140 projects were included and thematised into eight themes: advanced pharmacy services, digital patient support, organisation and collaboration, handling of medicine, automated dose dispensing, medication counselling in community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, and others, covering all six elective courses. The COVID-19 pandemic affected students' possibilities to collect data from either physical interviews or observations. The challenges prompted both constructive and creative discussions between students and supervisors to find ways to complete the projects, and required flexibility from all those involved: students, supervisors, community pharmacies, and hospital pharmacies. In conclusion, all students managed to complete their third-year project at a similar level of achievement statistically compared to average grades for the previous six years (2016-2020).
为了毕业，药学技术专业的学生在第三年要撰写一个项目。他们从六门选修课程中进行选择，并围绕一个与他们在社区或医院药房的学习及日常实践相关的主题开展项目。在本文中，我们报告了三年级项目主题的梳理情况，并概述了新冠疫情限制措施对项目完成所带来的挑战。基于所有项目的标题，在将所有项目分配到其中一个主题之前，生成并描述了一份主题清单。通过一个分析研讨会对因新冠疫情而遇到的挑战进行了调查，在该研讨会上，导师们讨论了他们在整个项目完成过程中指导学生的经验。总共纳入了140个项目，并将其归纳为八个主题：高级药学服务、数字患者支持、组织与协作、药品处理、自动剂量调配、社区药房的用药咨询、医院药房以及其他主题，涵盖了所有六门选修课程。新冠疫情影响了学生通过实地访谈或观察收集数据的可能性。这些挑战促使学生和导师之间进行了建设性和创造性的讨论，以找到完成项目的方法，并且要求所有相关人员（学生、导师、社区药房和医院药房）具备灵活性。总之，与前六年（2016 - 2020年）的平均成绩相比，从统计学角度来看，所有学生都成功地以相似的成绩水平完成了他们的三年级项目。
