Curricular Survey SummaryGraduating Classes 2002-2004Degree of Preparedness
Curricular AssessmentInterpretation of the Survey Findings Communication • The students feel they are moderately prepared for the communication skills pharmacists must have in their activities. They appear more confident to talk with patients versus other health care professionals. Pharmacotherapy and Patient Care • Students believe they are moderately prepared to recommend drug therapy and resolve medication related problems. Professional Practice • Students feel very positive in determining the legitimacy of a prescription, providing counseling to their patients, and devising methods to ensure patient adherence.
Curricular AssessmentInterpretation of the Survey Findings Drug Information/Pharmacoinformatics • Students are very well prepared to collect information to prevent or resolve a medication related problem, respond to a request for information from another health care provider, and to respond to a patient’s request for information. Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Since 2002, student confidence in making reasonable assumptions and drawing reasonable conclusions when the data is incomplete has seemed to decrease. Pharmacy Management • This was consistently the area that students reported they were the least prepared to do upon graduation.
Curricular AssessmentInterpretation of the Survey Findings Professional Ethics and the Health Care System • The student’s confidence in recognizing and explaining how social and cultural issues impact the health care environment has shown a decrease to moderate level of preparation since 2002. Leadership • For this question the student’s answered they feel only moderately prepared to assume a leadership role in community and professional matters.
Overall Most Common Responses • Have a mandatory over the counter drug class • Have less paperwork in the P4 year • Need more information on pharmacist to patient interaction (perhaps tied into communication) • More on DME • Learn drugs before disease • Instructors seem to look down upon doing retail pharmacy when most students stated they plan on doing that. • Medical students are more knowledgeable about drugs and therapeutics in their 4th year then the Pharm. D. students are.
