Evaluation of SOAP note performance in a pharmacotherapeutics course after implementation of a peer-review process.

Introduction: Subjective, objective, assessment, and plan (SOAP) notes are widely utilized within pharmacy curricula. Implementation of a peer-review process for these assignments may improve student competence. Evidence is lacking regarding correlation between student-to-student peer-review and faculty grades for SOAP notes and correlation of SOAP note peer-evaluation to individual performance.

Current Practice Review in the Management of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) presents as an acute inflammatory lung injury characterized by refractory hypoxemia and non-cardiac pulmonary edema. An estimated 10% of patients in the intensive care unit and 25% of those who are mechanically ventilated are diagnosed with ARDS. Increased awareness is warranted as mortality rates remain high and delays in diagnosing ARDS are common.

A web-based review game as a measure of overall course knowledge in pharmacotherapeutics.

Background And Purpose: Implementation of games is common in pharmacy education, but limited information exists about the relationship between students' game performances and course grades. Our study was designed to determine if scores on a comprehensive web-based review game correlate to overall pharmacotherapeutics course and course series grades.

Educational Activity And Setting: Two cohorts of students in Pharmacotherapeutics IV, the last course in a four course series, were administered a web-based quiz review game (Kahoot!) at the end of the course.
