Preceptors' perceptions of an entrustable professional activities-based community introductory pharmacy practice experience curriculum.

Introduction: In 2021, the Southeastern Pharmacy Experiential Education Consortium implemented Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) into the community introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE) curriculum at five colleges/schools of pharmacy. The objective of this study was to evaluate community IPPE preceptors' perceptions regarding the newly implemented EPA-based community IPPE curriculum and corresponding preceptor training.

Methods: Community IPPE preceptors who precepted first-year student pharmacists in the EPA-based curriculum during the 2021 and 2022 community IPPE cycles were invited to complete a voluntary electronic survey.

Engaging early experiential learners to improve quality at a VA medical center - a cross-sectional analysis.

Purpose: An innovative population health-based introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE) leveraging a Veterans Affairs (VA) and college of pharmacy collaboration was implemented in fall 2019. All second-year pharmacy students from the college actively engage in the evaluation of the medical records of veterans identified using population health management tools as needing additional care or experiencing a gap in care. This study examines the clinical impact of the experience on the care of patients at the partnering VA medical center.

Pharmacists' perceptions regarding feasibility, acceptability, and usefulness of student-delivered naloxone education services in community pharmacy: A mixed methods study in Alabama.

Background: Given that Alabama has the highest opioid prescribing rate in the nation, efforts to promote safe opioid use and reduce overdose mortality are critical. To address this, the Auburn University Harrison College of Pharmacy developed and piloted a didactic-experiential naloxone learning model in the first-year PharmD curriculum in 2020-2021 consisting of lectures, skills laboratory, and 120-hour community pharmacy introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE). Student-delivered naloxone education services (SDNES), including naloxone counseling and dispensing, were incorporated into the IPPE.

Impact of a health and wellness IPPE focused on immunizations and health assessments.

Background And Purpose: Health and wellness principles are included in pharmacy education outcomes and standards, supporting the importance of integrating these concepts within pharmacy curricula. The objective of this study was to describe the development, implementation, and assessment of an intensive community pharmacy-based health and wellness introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE) focused on immunizations and health assessments.

Educational Activity And Setting: The health and wellness IPPE was a required, one-week rotation developed to provide second-year student pharmacists with direct patient care opportunities to reinforce knowledge, skills, and abilities related to health and wellness principles.

Impact of a Didactic-Experiential Naloxone Learning Model to Improve Student Pharmacist Skills and Patient Care.

Objective: To assess the impact of an integrated didactic-experiential learning model on student pharmacists' knowledge, confidence, comfort, and intention regarding provision of naloxone for patients receiving opioid therapy.

Methods: An integrated didactic-experiential learning model was developed to bridge learning in the classroom and laboratory with application in the experiential setting. Student knowledge, confidence, comfort, and intentions regarding provision of naloxone services were measured via online survey at predidactic, postdidactic, and postexperiential time points, and analyzed using Friedman's analysis of variance.

A consortium's approach to developing an EPA-based community IPPE curriculum.

Introduction: Currently, there are limited data on the use of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) within introductory pharmacy practice experiences (IPPEs). The objective of this study was to identify supporting EPA tasks community IPPE students should perform at the "Competent with Support" level to prepare them for advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs).

Methods: The Southeastern Pharmacy Experiential Education Consortium utilized a modified Delphi process to incorporate EPAs into community IPPE curricula to mirror the consortium's community APPE curricula.

Assessing student pharmacists' ability to recognize and categorize interventions during an introductory pharmacy practice experience.

Introduction: Introductory pharmacy practice experiences (IPPEs) prepare students for advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs) by reinforcing patient care skills learned in the didactic curriculum. Current literature does not assess pharmacy students' abilities to accurately recognize and categorize interventions in IPPEs or APPEs. This study evaluated the impact of incorporating paper-based simulated encounters and video answer keys to train students to accurately recognize and categorize interventions during an IPPE.

Clinical impact of a community pharmacy-based health and wellness introductory pharmacy practice experience.

Objective: To assess the clinical impact of an intensive community pharmacy-based Health and Wellness Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experience (IPPE) completed by second-year (P2) student pharmacists.

Design: The Health and Wellness IPPE was a 1-week rotation developed to provide P2 student pharmacists with opportunities to provide clinical services to patients within the community pharmacy setting. Student pharmacists administered immunizations, performed blood pressure screenings and blood glucose measurements, and provided education to patients under the guidance of licensed pharmacist preceptors.

Crisaborole: A Novel Nonsteroidal Topical Treatment for Atopic Dermatitis.

To review the efficacy and safety of crisaborole and its place in therapy for the management of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD). A literature search of PubMed (data inception to February 2019) was performed using the search terms crisaborole and atopic dermatitis. Supplementary sources included the , clinicaltrials.
