PHM 694C Inpatient General Medicine Pharmacy Practice
College of Pharmacy
Please describe how students will engage in independent investigation and presentation of their own work through the course. Please explain specifically how your course engages students in the process of inquiry in your discipline.
(Course previously offered under PHR 694C Acute Care Pharmacy Practice) This course requires students to independently analyze primary literature related to the type of patient case the student is dealing with at a particular site. Such research will be used to formulate evidence-based care plans for the purpose of managing patients’ medication regimens.
What kinds of projects, artifacts, presentations, or performances do your students produce as a result of engaging in this process of inquiry?
Assignments will typically include formal and informal case presentations, patient care interventions, journal club presentations, nursing inservice presentations, drug utilization evaluations, and presentation of original research projects.
Please explain what independent work students will do in this course. If students are engaged in collaborative or team-based projects, explain how every student will exercise responsibility for and independence with some portion of the project.
Students will independently analyze the primary literature in order to formulate evidence-based care plans for the purpose of managing patients’ medication regimens.
What pedagogical strategies do you use to prepare students to undertake the inquiry process in your course? If applicable, how does the work that students produce in this course build upon skills or knowledge they have developed in previous coursework?
This course is a culmination of the Pharmacotherapy sequence involving disease state management and courses such as drug literature evaluation and biostatistics that allow the student to do independent literature-based research for real-world application to patient care.
Please specify what percentage of the students’ grade is based on the process of inquiry described above. Note that for a 3-hour course, at least one-third of the course grade must be based on the students’ independent investigation and presentation of their own work. (Students’ independent work must constitute one-half of the grade for 2-hour courses and all of the grade for 1-hour courses.)
Students must complete all assignments related to this dimension in order to pass this course.
