Pressure to Perform: Maximizing Learning and Minimizing Cheating

Academic dishonesty invokes emotional responses whenever discussed. Many factors contribute to pharmacy students cheating. Literature primarily focuses on changing student behavior and environmental factors. One factor not explored well is design of learning assessments.

Why Grading and Entrustable Professional Activity Feedback Should be Separated in Experiential Learning

Experiential educational success relies on accurate feedback to improve student learning. A challenge with providing accurate feedback is separating it from the final grade. Separation can be difficult when preceptors use rubrics to work backwards by checking boxes until the desired grade appears. In this process, the grade defines the performance and construes the learner feedback. During this session, we will walk through separating feedback on Entrustable Professional Activities from the grade in experiential learning.

At the completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

  1. Describe the rationale for separating feedback on EPAs from a summative assessment of experiential performance.
  2. Describe the process for separating feedback on EPAs from a summative assessment of experiential performance.

Putting the Precepting Village Together to Help Rotations Go On Despite Virtually Any Challenge

Considering the rotation cancellations at several of our college’s affiliated clinical sites, a shared precepting team of four faculty members created a six-week ambulatory care clinical APPE rotation. The rotation accommodated four students per block in which students completed three weeks of an HIV clinic rotation, and three weeks of a virtual rotation which involved daily check ins, online reflections, virtually attending diabetes clinic visits led by a pharmacist/faculty member via WebEx, projects, case presentations, and leadership development activities. This presentation will review how this team was developed, a description of the ambulatory care sites involved, and how the team adjusted the rotation to meet the needs of the students, the college, the clinics, and the shifts between live and virtual learning during the pandemic.

Zooming Into Deep Learning of Epilepsy: Integrating the Science of Learning Into Education Technology

Most educators know what it’s like to ask students a question only to receive blank stares or now awkward silence on Zoom platforms with cameras off. We might remark “we just went over this yesterday” and feel exasperated by how quickly students seem to forget material. What is not working? Part of the problem may be that our instruction is not always firmly grounded in learning science which could result in students not retaining the desired information. Adding to this concern was the way the COVID-19 pandemic challenged us to think about our educational delivery and incorporate technology more than ever before. This presented a new opportunity to take advantage of the published literature on learning science and integrate it into our new technology assisted learning space. This program will describe an approach to making small changes that shows this integration into how pharmacology and pharmacotherapy of antiseizure drugs and epilepsy were taught during the pandemic.

The Straight Dope: Ways to Incorporate Cannabis Science Into Pharmacy Curricula

As states continue to expand access to medical and non-medical use of cannabis, pharmacists are increasingly called upon to counsel patients about the promise and dangers of cannabinoid products. Cannabis products are marketed for a panoply of medical uses that lack controlled clinical trials; pharmacists can feel unprepared to effectively counsel patients about the medical use of cannabis products. This session equips educators with creative ways to integrate cannabis science throughout the pharmaceutical science curriculum.

Closing General Session: The How of Happiness: Boosting Well-Being Through Kindness, Gratitude, and Connection

During both normal times and challenging circumstances like today, most people around the world report wanting to be happy. Happiness not only feels good, however; it is good. Relative to their less happy peers, happy people are more creative, productive, and helpful; have more stable marriages and higher incomes:, and boast stronger immune systems. Fortunately, decades of research suggest that individuals can deliberately increase their own happiness by creating and maintaining new habits. In this talk, Dr. Lyubomirsky will introduce the “positive activity model,” which describes the “how” and “why” of happiness—that is, the conditions under which such practices as gratitude or kindness work “best” and how small and simple activities can transform people into happier, healthier, more connected, and more flourishing individuals.
