Revision of a pharmacy teaching and learning curriculum to address resident, programmatic, and accreditation demands.

Problem Description: Without externally validated tools to assess teaching and learning curriculum (TLC) programs, our program has undertaken continuous quality improvement (CQI) methods to make revisions in response to resident, programmatic, and accreditation demands.

Quality Improvement Methods: Key stakeholders, including the college of pharmacy, the residents, and the executive committee, were engaged in discussion and feedback was solicited.

Results Of Cqi Inquiry: The demands identified prompted revision of the TLC teaching component, programming, and timeline.

Assessing the Validity and Reliability of the Pharmacist Interprofessional Competencies Tool.

To determine the validity and reliability of the Pharmacist Interprofessional Competencies Tool (PICT). Faculty members at Ferris State University, College of Pharmacy developed the PICT, which has five interprofessional criterion (collaboration, ownership, respect, engagement, and application) and four competency levels (unacceptable, novice, competent, and proficient) to assess the interprofessional competencies of pharmacy students. Fourteen pharmacy faculty members were trained in how to use the PICT and then used it to assess students' behaviors in four to six video-recorded interprofessional education (IPE) learning activities.
