Hosted by the Laboratory Instructors
The Laboratory Instructors SIG is pleased to showcase the Laboratory Innovation and Teaching Excellence (LITE) award finalists in this webinar. Our winner will discuss the development of a mental health simulation for second-year pharmacy students to practice empathic communication skills, deductive reasoning, and clinical expertise to resolve a simulated mental health crisis. Our honorable mention awardee will also share their innovative lab activity, an explicit instruction case-based primer and immersive, true-to-practice simulation to teach pharmacy students how to research and respond to Y-site compatibility questions from a nurse.
Objectives:
- Explain the importance of simulated mental health crises for pharmacy students.
- Describe how to integrate a simulated mental health crisis into a patient care lab.
- Discuss the utility, pitfalls, and transferability of a simulated mental health lab.
- Describe an immersive, true-to-practice in-lab simulation designed to teach pharmacy students how to research and respond to Y-site compatibility questions from a nurse.
- Discuss the importance of utilizing different nursing personalities during institutional-based simulations.
