Jr. Draugalis et al., Pharmaceutical education advanced pharmacy practice experience and graduate course: Materials, methods, and outcomes, AM J PHAR E, 63(4), 1999, pp. 382-388
In order to stimulate interest in and promote preparation for either a care
er in academia or a practitioner role with a teaching component, an electiv
e six-week advanced practice experience for PharmD students and a required
module (two of three credits semester course) for graduate students were cr
eated. Objectives, materials, and activities of both experiences will be pr
esented. The experiences are similarly structured to consider pharmaceutica
l education from historical, accreditation, and curricular perspectives as
well as teaching topics such as instructional design, components of effecti
ve teaching, and test construction principles. In addition, two individuals
, one who selected the rotation and one who completed the graduate course w
ill present their perspectives on the modules and demonstrate how they have
applied the principles in their current roles of graduate teaching assista
nt/graduate student and assistant professor.
