Pharmacists, regardless of practice setting, will be called to provide education to patients, healthcare professionals, students, and the community. In an effort to increase students' exposure to the knowledge, skills, and responsibilities of a pharmacist in academia, an introductory healthcare academia elective was created. The purpose of this article is to describe the implementation and assessment of this elective course.
The course was offered to students in spring 2021 and focused on exposing students to academia aspects, including curriculum design, pillars of academia, and roles of assessment and feedback. The largest project was a student created and delivered Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education-accredited continuing education presentation.
The twelve students completed pre- and post-surveys regarding their perceived knowledge and personal abilities in select areas. Overall, students' perceived knowledge and abilities increased in each area at the end of the course. Additionally, a total of four continuing education presentations were delivered to students, faculty, and practicing pharmacists.
One semester of a unique healthcare academia elective increased students' perceived confidence in their knowledge and application of academia-related tasks.
无论执业环境如何，药剂师都需要为患者、医疗保健专业人员、学生和社区提供教育。为了让学生更多地接触学术界药剂师的知识、技能和职责，开设了一门医疗保健学术入门选修课。本文旨在描述这门选修课的实施与评估情况。
该课程于2021年春季面向学生开设，重点是让学生了解学术界的各个方面，包括课程设计、学术支柱以及评估与反馈的作用。最大的项目是由学生创作并发表经药学教育认证委员会认可的继续教育演讲。
12名学生完成了关于他们在特定领域的感知知识和个人能力的课前和课后调查。总体而言，课程结束时，学生在每个领域的感知知识和能力都有所提高。此外，总共为学生、教师和执业药剂师举办了4场继续教育演讲。
一个学期的独特医疗保健学术选修课提高了学生对自身学术相关任务知识及应用的感知信心。
