Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science
Scholarship of Education
The chemistry, biology and pathophysiology textbooks are only helpful if student pharmacists also gain practice knowledge, skills and attitudes for the changing world. How can we best teach and evaluate them?” Deborah Sturpe, PharmD, assistant professor, David Roffman, PharmD, professor and associate dean of academic affairs, and Stuart Haines, PharmD, professor, have led intensive efforts in problem-based learning, using real-world cases and standardized patient scenarios to train and evaluate student pharmacists. The Objective Structure Clinical Examination method utilizes professional actors in simulated encounters to evaluate students prior to graduation.
