Vancomycin Flight Simulator: A Team-Based Learning Exercise.

Background: Team-based learning (TBL) encourages learners to think critically to solve problems they will face in practice. Pharmacokinetic dosing and monitoring are complex skills requiring the application of learned knowledge. The study sought to assess the impact of a TBL, vancomycin dosing activity in a Pharmaceutical Skills IV course measured with exam question performance during the second professional year.

Using Team-based Learning to Teach a Hybrid Pharmacokinetics Course Online and in Class.

To compare the effectiveness of face-to-face and online team-based learning (TBL) to teach phenytoin pharmacokinetics. A TBL format was used to teach an online cohort of 222 pharmacy students and two face-to-face cohorts (Tampa and Las Vegas) of pharmacy students. Students in all cohorts completed individual and team readiness tests (iRATs and tRATs), and a self-assessment survey to determine teamwork and content understanding.
