Three Teaching Styles - 0 views

  •

By so doing, they encourage and inspire students to do their best at all times throughout the semester.

Advancing the pharmacy practice model in a community teaching hospital by expanding stu... - 0 views

  •  
    While this article does not relate directly to being a preceptor, it describes the success of a model of experiential learning within pharmacy- layered learner model. This model mirrors the medical team model with a pharmacy "attending" down to pharmacy students. It provides a way to get students more involved in direct patient care during your rotation. In the study, a community hospital was able to accept more students with this model and assign a small group of patients to each. Students were able to serve as pharmacist extenders by obtaining medication histories and providing patient education. This model allowed an expansion of comprehensive pharmacy services to numerous patients that would not have been otherwise reached. There was an improvement in HCAHPS scores within the "communication of medication" domain, an increase in patient interventions, and allowed for an expansion of the discharge prescription program. By utilizing the concepts of more direct patient care, preceptors are able to provide valuable opportunities to students and improve patient care.

      although there was not an overall statistical difference in the results between PBL and LBL, there may be a deeper understanding in the pbl group
  • Regarding the main questions of the study that have been formulated above, two findings seem to be most important: Firstly, our study has shown, that it is in fact practically possible to implement PBL as an educational strategy under the conditions of a large German medical school. Secondly, the study provided sound evidence that the PBL approach does not lead to disadvantages concerning students' factual knowledge as measured by a combination of multiple-choice and short-essay questions. The results of our study therefore support earlier findings2[3]–4 and constitute another link in the chain of evidence indicating that PBL is equipotent to LBL as far as students' factual knowledge is concerned.Further conclusions are more difficult to draw: The fact that the PBL students achieved slightly better results in the category of short-essay questions might indicate, that an examination testing more complex levels of knowledge (i.e. on the comprehension or analysis level), is more appropriate for testing the outcome of PBL in terms of factual knowledge than multiple-choice questions. An intra-group comparison of the two categories of questions further supported this hypothesis, revealing that students who had undergone the lecture-based course scored significantly lower in the short-essay part, whereas their PBL counterparts reached similar results in both categories of questions. It is important to stress though, that the direct comparison of the short-essay results in both groups only showed marginal results. Also, the multiple-choice questions we used in our study were not intended to assess a more complex, i.e. comprehension or analysis level of knowledge. Hence, if there is a difference, it is not necessarily a difference between multiple-choice and short-essay questions, but between questions addressing different levels of knowledge.

Residency Accreditation - 0 views

  •  
    The PGY1 and PGY2 residency standards require that "...the resident's program be designed, conducted, and evaluated using a systems-based approach. Such an approach requires that there be a direct correlation among the expectations of resident performance, the type of instruction provided, and the evaluation of resident performance."
