Objective: To develop and assess the effectiveness of an elective course modeled after activities students encounter on internal medicine advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs).
Design: This hybrid elective course used a Web-based course management system linking pre-class lectures and assignments, classroom discussions, and projects to promote active student learning.
Assessment: Assessment of student performance was based on assignments, quizzes, and participation in classroom discussions.
Purpose: The influence of faculty-mediated interventions on the pursuit of postgraduate training (PGT) by pharmacy students was studied.
Methods: Three weeks before graduation, members of the class of 2005 (control group) at a Florida pharmacy school completed a questionnaire assessing their understanding of PGT opportunities. Members of the class of 2006 (intervention group) were exposed to faculty-mediated interventions during their final academic year of pharmacy school.
