Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the effectiveness of a sequenced drug knowledge pilot in third professional year students in a capstone course.

METHODS

A three-phase drug knowledge pilot was conducted in spring 2022. Students completed a total of thirteen assessments, including nine low-stakes quizzes, three formative tests, and a final summative comprehensive exam. Results from the previous year's cohort (historical control) who only completed a summative comprehensive exam were compared to the pilot (test group) results to assess effectiveness. The faculty spent over 300 h developing content for the test group.

RESULTS

The pilot group had a mean score of 80.9% on the final competency exam, which was one percent lower than the control group who had a less rigorous intervention. A sub-analysis was conducted that removed the students who failed (<73%) the final competency exam, and no significant difference in the exam score was found. One practice drug exam was found to be moderately correlated and significant (r = 0.62) with the final knowledge exam performance in the control. The number of attempts on the low-stakes assessments had a low correlation with the final exam score in the test group compared to the control (r = 0.24).

CONCLUSION

The results of this study suggest a need to further investigate the best practices for knowledge-based drug characteristic assessments.

摘要

目的

评估在一门顶点课程中，面向大三学生开展的系列药物知识试点项目的有效性。

方法

2022年春季开展了一个分三个阶段的药物知识试点项目。学生总共完成了13项评估，包括9次低风险测验、3次形成性测试和1次终结性综合考试。将上一年仅完成终结性综合考试的 cohort（历史对照组）的结果与试点组（测试组）的结果进行比较，以评估有效性。教师花费了超过300小时为测试组开发内容。

结果

试点组在最终能力考试中的平均成绩为80.9%，比干预力度较小的对照组低1%。进行了一项子分析，剔除了在最终能力考试中不及格（<73%）的学生，未发现考试成绩有显著差异。在对照组中，发现一次药物实践考试与最终知识考试成绩中度相关且具有显著性（r = 0.62）。与对照组相比，测试组在低风险评估中的尝试次数与期末考试成绩的相关性较低（r = 0.24）。
