Drug-drug interaction (DDI) assessment is an important role that pharmacists have in practice. Students often struggle with this complex clinical reasoning skill. TLC-Act is a tool that was created to mirror the steps and clinical checkpoints that pharmacists complete when assessing DDIs. Through integration of TLC-Act in the pharmacy curriculum, students will be better prepared for assessing and evaluating DDIs when in practice.
For the 2021-2022 academic year, an asynchronous educational activity to teach students how to use TLC-Act was created and implemented. Five videos that encompassed multiple facets of TLC-Act including an introduction to the tool and how to use it, an example application of the tool to a patient case, and the clinical utility of using TLC-Act in the hospital and community settings. Students were instructed to view all five videos and then complete a patient case that focused on the DDI between ciprofloxacin and metformin.
A pre- and post-activity survey was disseminated to 640 students across the first three years of the program to gather students' perspectives on the educational activity. Overall, survey response rates were 32% for the pre- and 23% for the post-activity surveys.
The TLC-Act educational activity improved students' skills with managing DDIs.
药物相互作用（DDI）评估是药师在实践中的一项重要职责。学生在这一复杂的临床推理技能方面往往存在困难。TLC-Act 是一种工具，旨在反映药师在评估 DDI 时所完成的步骤和临床检查点。通过在药学课程中整合 TLC-Act，学生在实践中评估和评估 DDI 时将得到更好的准备。
在 2021-2022 学年，创建并实施了一项异步教育活动，以教授学生如何使用 TLC-Act。该活动包含了五个视频，涵盖了 TLC-Act 的多个方面，包括该工具的介绍和使用方法、该工具在患者病例中的应用示例，以及在医院和社区环境中使用 TLC-Act 的临床效用。学生被指示观看所有五个视频，然后完成一个侧重于环丙沙星和二甲双胍之间 DDI 的患者病例。
在该计划的前三年，向 640 名学生分发了一项预活动和一项后活动调查，以收集学生对教育活动的看法。总体而言，预活动调查的回复率为 32%，后活动调查的回复率为 23%。
TLC-Act 教育活动提高了学生管理 DDI 的技能。
