Objective

To determine if pharmacy students are utilizing generative artificial intelligence (AI) on advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs). A secondary objective is to assess what AI tools students are utilizing for APPE activities.

Methods

Students at five schools/colleges of pharmacy were emailed an anonymous survey during their APPE year in May 2025. The survey included questions about whether respondents utilized generative AI, and if so, which platforms and for what types of activities. Descriptive statistics were utilized to summarize AI use.

Results

Fifty-eight APPE students responded to the survey from the five schools/colleges of pharmacy. A total of 42 students (72.4%) reported using AI during APPE rotations, while 16 students (27.6%) did not. The most commonly used AI platform was ChatGPT (n = 24; 57.1%), followed by Gemini (n = 9; 21.4%). The most common uses of AI were to develop presentations/journal clubs, to simplify a complex topic, and to look up information for providers/preceptors.

Conclusion

Students are utilizing AI on APPEs. Schools/colleges of pharmacy should be aware of educating students on best practices and ethical considerations before students go on APPEs.
目的了解药学专业学生是否在高级药学实践体验(APPEs)中使用生成式人工智能(AI)。第二个目标是评估学生在APPE活动中使用了哪些人工智能工具。方法于2025年5月,通过电子邮件对五所药学院的学生进行匿名调查。调查的问题包括受访者是否使用了生成式人工智能,如果使用了,使用了哪些平台以及进行了哪些类型的活动。使用描述性统计来总结人工智能的使用情况。结果来自5所药学院的58名APPE学生参与了调查。共有42名学生(72.4%)报告在APPE轮换期间使用AI,而16名学生(27.6%)没有使用AI。最常用的AI平台是ChatGPT (n = 24; 57.1%),其次是Gemini (n = 9; 21.4%)。人工智能最常见的用途是开发演示文稿/期刊俱乐部,简化复杂的主题,以及为提供者/导师查找信息。结论学生在应用程序上使用人工智能。药学院/学院应该意识到,在学生参加apppes之前,应该对学生进行最佳实践和道德考虑方面的教育。

Background

The objective of the research was to assess pharmacy and medical students' levels of knowledge, beliefs, and sentiments regarding the RSV vaccine.

Methods

A validated questionnaire was disseminated to pharmacy and medical students in the United States. The questionnaire consisted of sections to assess the sociodemographic characteristics of the respondents; knowledge regarding RSV and its vaccines; perceptions regarding RSV and its vaccines; and attitudes regarding barriers to RSV vaccination.

Results

There were substantial differences regarding participants' clinical knowledge of RSV and its vaccines. One-third of participants (33.3 %) expressed being unaware of RSV, however the majority felt it could be severe within at-risk populations (infants, children, elderly;65.4 %). Few participants expressed awareness that the FDA had approved vaccines to address RSV (29.2 % for older adults). There were disagreements among participants regarding whether vaccination would be encouraged within the older population; 29.7 % agreed vaccinating individuals beyond 75 years was encouraged, and 32.5 % agreed vaccination was recommended in individuals aged 60–74 years at risk for severe complications. Major barriers to RSV vaccination were cited, nearly half of participants (44.7 %) expressed concerns regarding safety of the vaccine, and all participants (53.7 %) recommended patient preferences against annual influenza and RSV vaccination. Only 29.3 % of participants recognized hospitalization for RSV as comparable to influenza in patients aged 50 or older. Overall, average participant knowledge scores regarding RSV vaccinations was 6.1 (SD = 3.9), with regression analysis indicating medical students recognized higher knowledge scores than pharmacy students (Beta = 0.195, 95 % CI [0.412 to 2.799], p = 0.003), with a small effect size (Cohen's f2 = 0.0204).

Conclusion

Awareness of RSV in healthcare students is apparent; however subsequent education regarding the transmission of the virus, health implications associated with RSV, and advantages of vaccination for older adults is warranted. Strategies to improve awareness of RSV transmission, health implications associated with RSV in older adults, and the advantages of taking the vaccine may serve to address experienced barriers against RSV vaccination.
本研究的目的是评估药学和医科学生对RSV疫苗的知识、信念和情绪水平。方法对美国药学和医学专业学生进行问卷调查。问卷由几个部分组成,以评估受访者的社会人口特征;关于呼吸道合胞病毒及其疫苗的知识;对呼吸道合胞病毒及其疫苗的认识;以及对呼吸道合胞病毒疫苗接种障碍的态度。结果被试对呼吸道合胞病毒及其疫苗的临床知识存在显著差异。三分之一的参与者(33.3%)表示不知道呼吸道合胞病毒,但大多数人认为它在高危人群(婴儿、儿童、老年人;65.4%)中可能很严重。很少有参与者表示意识到FDA已经批准了针对RSV的疫苗(29.2%的老年人)。对于是否鼓励在老年人群中接种疫苗,参与者之间存在分歧;29.7%的人同意鼓励75岁以上的人接种疫苗,32.5%的人同意建议对有严重并发症风险的60-74岁的人接种疫苗。提到了RSV疫苗接种的主要障碍,近一半的参与者(44.7%)表达了对疫苗安全性的担忧,所有参与者(53.7%)建议患者不应每年接种流感和RSV疫苗。只有29.3%的参与者认为50岁及以上患者因呼吸道合胞病毒住院与流感相当。总体而言,被试对RSV疫苗接种的平均知识得分为6.1 (SD = 3.9),回归分析显示医学生对RSV疫苗接种知识得分的认知高于药学学生(Beta = 0.195, 95% CI [0.412 ~ 2.799], p = 0.003),效应量较小(Cohen's f2 = 0.0204)。结论卫生专业学生对呼吸道合胞病毒的认识明显;然而,关于病毒传播、与呼吸道合胞病毒相关的健康影响以及老年人接种疫苗的好处的后续教育是有必要的。提高对RSV传播的认识、老年人与RSV相关的健康影响以及接种疫苗的优势的策略可能有助于解决对RSV疫苗接种的障碍。

Background

To describe the design, implementation, and evaluation of the conversion of two pharmaceutical compounding units in pre-registration pharmacy programs to competency-based, grade-only units. The aim was to ensure the competence of graduates in pharmaceutical compounding and increase student and teacher satisfaction.

Educational activity and setting

Relevant competencies were identified and learning and assessment activities designed to develop and assess these. The principles of constructive alignment and thoughtful use of formative and summative assessment underpinned the educational design.

Evaluation

243 undergraduate and 68 postgraduate students completed the revised units in 2023. Fail rates for both cohorts were consistent with previous years, while student satisfaction was slightly increased for the undergraduate and, decreased for the postgraduate cohort. Reflection and constructive feedback from students and the teaching team lead to changes to assessment design and content in 2024 to ensure essential knowledge and skills, provide students with early diagnostic feedback, focus on skill development, and reduce redundancy in assessment.

Analysis

When appropriately designed, the change to grade-only, competency-based units of study provided a more holistic assessment of students' pharmaceutical compounding skills and increased both student and teacher satisfaction. The educational and assessment design principles described here address key challenges in contemporary higher education. Adequate resources to allow students multiple opportunities to develop skills and demonstrate competence, and ongoing reflection and adjustment of the educational design in response to staff and student feedback are keys to successful implementation.
背景:描述预注册药房项目中两个药物配制单元转换为基于能力的、仅限等级的单元的设计、实施和评估。目的是确保毕业生在药物配制方面的能力,提高学生和教师的满意度。教育活动和环境:确定了相关的能力,并设计了学习和评估活动来发展和评估这些能力。建设性的协调原则和深思熟虑地使用形成性和总结性评估是教育设计的基础。评估:2023年完成修订单元的本科生243人,研究生68人。两组学生的不及格率与前几年一致,而本科生的学生满意度略有上升,研究生的学生满意度有所下降。来自学生和教学团队的反思和建设性反馈导致2024年评估设计和内容的变化,以确保基本知识和技能,为学生提供早期诊断反馈,关注技能发展,并减少评估中的冗余。分析:如果设计得当,改变为只考虑年级、基于能力的学习单元,可以更全面地评估学生的药物配制技能,并提高学生和教师的满意度。这里描述的教育和评估设计原则解决了当代高等教育面临的主要挑战。充分的资源,让学生有多种机会发展技能和展示能力,并根据教职员工和学生的反馈不断反思和调整教育设计,这是成功实施的关键。

Background

Final year pharmacy students in the UK need to demonstrate competence in a range of learning outcomes including working in partnership, communication skills, working collaboratively, appraising the evidence base, critically evaluating guidelines, effective leadership, and responding to complaints. Medicines Information (MI) departments in the UK provide support for all aspects of medication related queries and working in MI requires these skills to ensure the safe and effective use of medicines.

Educational activity

An MI themed simulation was developed for final year MPharm students at the University of East Anglia as an opportunity for them to develop in a range of skills and utilise previously taught clinical knowledge. Students were divided into two teams of five students, each tasked with managing their own MI department. During the four-hour simulation each team received a total of 12 telephone enquiries from a variety of simulated health professionals and simulated patients.

Evaluation findings

All 10 students participated in a focus group exploring their experience of the simulation. A thematic analysis identified three themes; realism, management and teamwork, and preparation for practice.

Analysis of educational activity

Students felt the simulation was realistic and challenging. They did not see management skills as integral to the task at the outset, however there was evidence of a change in approach as the simulation progressed. The session supported development of research and communication skills and was an opportunity for students to apply clinical knowledge. As such, an MI department simulation activity may be a useful addition to pharmacy curricula.
背景:英国药学专业最后一年的学生需要展示一系列学习成果的能力,包括合作合作、沟通技巧、协同工作、评估证据基础、批判性地评估指导方针、有效的领导和应对投诉。英国的药物信息(MI)部门为药物相关查询的各个方面提供支持,在MI工作需要这些技能来确保药物的安全和有效使用。教育活动:为东安格利亚大学最后一年的药学硕士学生开发了一个以MI为主题的模拟,作为他们发展一系列技能和利用以前教过的临床知识的机会。学生们被分成两组,每组5人,每个组负责管理自己的人工智能部门。在四个小时的模拟过程中,每个小组共接到了12个来自各种模拟保健专业人员和模拟患者的电话询问。评估结果:所有10名学生都参加了一个焦点小组,探讨他们对模拟的体验。专题分析确定了三个主题;现实主义,管理和团队合作,为实践做准备。对教育活动的分析:学生认为模拟是真实的和具有挑战性的。一开始,他们并不认为管理技能是这项任务不可或缺的一部分,但有证据表明,随着模拟的进行,方法发生了变化。会议支持研究和沟通技巧的发展,并为学生提供了应用临床知识的机会。因此,MI部门模拟活动可能是药学课程的有用补充。

Objective

This research article aims to measure longitudinal self-reported student pharmacist stress data across two Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) programs from 2019 to 2023.

Methods

The study was conducted at two four-year PharmD programs. The Cohen Perceived Stress Scale was administered annually to students enrolled in the first three years of the program. A total of 2022 responses were analyzed after excluding incomplete surveys.

Results

Results indicated fluctuations in stress levels over the study period. Average stress levels increased from 2019 to 2020 (21.0 to 22.2, p < 0.001), remained stable from 2020 to 2021 (22.2 to 22.2, p = 0.82), decreased from 2021 to 2022 (22.2 to 19.7, p < 0.001), and increased again from 2022 to 2023 (19.7 to 21.3, p < 0.001). By 2023, stress levels returned to baseline (21.0 to 21.3, p = 0.31). First-year students had similar stress levels compared to second and third-year students across the study period. The highest stress levels were observed in 2020 for first and second-year students, and in 2021 for third-year students.

Conclusion

The study underscores the importance of understanding stress dynamics in academic settings and suggests strategies for mitigating unnecessary stress through thoughtful scheduling and acknowledging external stressors. Future research should explore long-term effects and effective interventions to enhance student well-being.

Background

In response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada's Calls to Action, pharmacy programs have expanded Indigenous health and cultural safety training. Community-engaged learning is recognized as an effective approach to support this goal, yet such initiatives can be difficult to sustain due to limited faculty and community resources.

Educational activity

This report outlines the outcomes of a third-year elective pharmacy course on Indigenous cultural safety which developed online community-engaged projects with three remote Indigenous communities. All communication and project activities were conducted remotely via video-conferencing, email, and phone. A community-based participatory action research (CB-PAR) framework was co-developed with Indigenous partners to guide the development of the course, which included project scoping, student onboarding, delivery, and evaluation.

Evaluation of findings

Student performance and project impact were assessed using pre/post surveys and semi-structured interviews, with qualitative data analyzed inductively. Seventeen students and six community partners participated in the course evaluation. Two main impacts for students were identified as: (1) a shift in understanding the value of Indigenous perspectives, and (2) enhanced application of cultural safety. Community partners reported positive experiences and emphasized the importance of participating in student assessment and project planning.

Analysis of educational activity

This model of Indigenous pharmacy education demonstrates that impactful, culturally meaningful learning can be achieved via remote learning. It offers a sustainable, scalable approach to engage with geographically remote communities while supporting meaningful Indigenous reconciliation in healthcare education.
背景:为响应加拿大真相与和解委员会的行动呼吁,药房方案扩大了土著居民健康和文化安全培训。社区参与学习被认为是支持这一目标的有效方法,但由于教师和社区资源有限,这种举措可能难以维持。教育活动:本报告概述了一门关于土著文化安全的三年级药学选修课程的成果,该课程与三个偏远的土著社区开展了在线社区参与项目。所有的沟通和项目活动都通过视频会议、电子邮件和电话远程进行。与土著合作伙伴共同制定了以社区为基础的参与性行动研究框架,以指导课程的开发,其中包括项目范围确定、学生入职、交付和评估。评估结果:学生的表现和项目的影响通过前后调查和半结构化访谈进行评估,并对定性数据进行归纳分析。17名学生和6名社区伙伴参与了课程评估。对学生的两个主要影响是:(1)对土著观点价值的理解发生了转变;(2)加强了文化安全的应用。社区合作伙伴报告了积极的经验,并强调了参与学生评估和项目规划的重要性。教育活动分析:这种土著药学教育模式表明,通过远程学习可以实现有影响力的、有文化意义的学习。它提供了一种可持续的、可扩展的方法,与地理上偏远的社区接触,同时在保健教育中支持有意义的土著和解。

Objective

To assess how the P2 interprofessional education (IPE) in underserved populations impact student empathy scores compared to an alternative empathy-based video for P1 students.

Methods

The validated Kiersma-Chen Empathy Scale Revised (KCES-R) was administered to P1 students (n = 47) without IPE experience and P2 students (n = 21) who completed IPE during the 2023–2024 academic year. P1 student empathy was assessed before and after watching an empathy-based video as the control. P2 students completed KCES-R before and after their IPE. Both groups also took the KCES-R 30 days after their intervention of IPE or control video. The primary outcome of the difference in mean change of KCES-R empathy scores between groups was analyzed using a Mann-Whitney U test. Secondary outcomes of mean change in KCES-R score by IPE site, change among P1s and P2s separately, and change among both groups combined were analyzed by a Wilcoxon Signed Rank test.

Results

Baseline empathy scores were high in both P1s and P2s. Overall, empathy scores increased after IPE and the empathy-based video. There was no meaningful differences in change in KCES-R empathy scores between the P1 and P2 students when comparing interventions, or when comparing IPE sites.

Conclusion

Both P1 and P2 students at this institution had high baseline empathy scores. In students with high baseline empathy scores, a 4–6.5-h IPE experience may not be long enough to impact a change in student's empathy scores and sustain that change compared to our control group who watched an empathy-based video.
目的评估P2跨专业教育(IPE)对服务不足人群学生共情得分的影响,并与P1学生的另一种基于共情的视频进行比较。方法采用经验证的Kiersma-Chen共情量表(KCES-R)对2023-2024学年未完成IPE课程的P1 (n = 47)和完成IPE课程的P2 (n = 21)进行问卷调查。P1学生在观看以共情为基础的视频之前和之后作为对照进行共情评估。P2学生在IPE之前和之后完成了KCES-R课程。两组均在IPE或对照视频干预后30天服用KCES-R。KCES-R共情得分均数变化差异的主要结局采用Mann-Whitney U检验。次要结局采用Wilcoxon sign Rank检验,分析IPE站点KCES-R评分的平均变化、p15和p15单独变化、两组合并变化。结果p15和p25的基线共情得分均较高。总体而言,在IPE和基于同理心的视频之后,同理心得分有所提高。在比较干预措施或比较IPE地点时,P1和P2学生的KCES-R共情得分的变化没有显著差异。结论该机构P1和P2学生均具有较高的基线共情得分。在基线共情得分较高的学生中,与观看基于共情的视频的对照组相比,4 - 6.5小时的IPE体验可能不足以影响学生共情得分的变化并维持这种变化。

Introduction

Incorporating patient and caregiver voices into pharmacy education is essential in creating future pharmacists who will be empathic to patient needs, able to communicate well with them and provide person-centered care.

Commentary

Patient and caregivers should be involved in direct teaching activities as well as advising on the curriculum. Examples include incorporating patient/caregiver narratives, asking patients and caregivers to co-teach classes or asking patients to be real case examples during workshops, such as drug history taking, and providing feedback to students on communication skills. Involvement in curriculum design could incorporate a defined patient/caregiver panel and/or patient and caregiver representatives on a wider curriculum committee.
Effective integration of the patient and caregiver voices requires the appropriate infrastructure to be set up and embedded. Training and support are needed for patients and students including briefing and debriefing from teaching sessions. Practical and ethical issues also need to be considered such as funding and accessibility of physical spaces and systems. Continuously evaluating the impact of patient involvement on student learning and curriculum effectiveness and adapting accordingly are essential.

Implications

Moving forwards, institutions should prioritize the systematic integration of patient and caregiver voices throughout their educational programs to prepare professionals who can deliver clinical care that is truly person-centered.
将患者和护理人员的声音纳入药学教育对于培养未来的药剂师至关重要,这些药剂师将能够同情患者的需求,能够与他们良好沟通并提供以人为本的护理。患者和护理人员应直接参与教学活动,并对课程提出建议。例如,将患者/护理人员的叙述结合起来,要求患者和护理人员共同授课,或要求患者在研讨会上提供真实的案例,例如药物史记录,以及向学生提供沟通技巧方面的反馈。参与课程设计可以包括一个明确的患者/护理人员小组和/或患者和护理人员代表在更广泛的课程委员会。有效地整合患者和护理人员的声音需要建立和嵌入适当的基础设施。需要对患者和学生进行培训和支持,包括教学会议的简报和汇报。还需要考虑实际和道德问题,例如资金和物理空间和系统的可及性。持续评估患者参与对学生学习和课程有效性的影响,并相应地进行调整是必不可少的。展望未来,医疗机构应该在整个教育项目中优先考虑患者和护理人员的系统整合,以培养能够提供真正以人为本的临床护理的专业人员。
