School closures, child maltreatment reporting and victimization during the pandemic.

Background: School closures during the pandemic correlated with declines in child maltreatment reports in the U.S. However, it remains unclear how reporting from personnel other than schoolteachers or nurses and the nature of these reports were affected.

UPJE: Most pharmacy law educators have heard of it, but support remains divided.

Background: Most states require pharmacists to successfully pass the Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination (MPJE) required by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) to obtain licensure as a pharmacist, though pass rates for the MPJE have declined in recent years. Meanwhile, NABP is pursing efforts to standardize the exam with the emergent Uniform Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination (UPJE).

Objective: This study aimed to describe the current thinking of pharmacy law educators across the US on the UPJE.

Scoping review of drug dosing recommendations in sustained low-efficiency dialysis.

The objective of this scoping review was to answer the question, "What has been published describing drug dosing in sustained low-efficiency dialysis (SLED)?"

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess patient satisfaction and clinical experience with the t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology automated insulin delivery system.

Methods: This descriptive study used a retrospective electronic health record review of all individuals trained on the Control-IQ system between December 2019 and April 2022 in one adult endocrinology practice. A total of 99 patients using the Control-IQ system for at least 3 months completed the glucose monitoring satisfaction survey (GMSS).

Exploring community pharmacy work experience impact on errors and omissions performance and MyDispense perceptions.

Background: Student pharmacists must learn to identify errors and omissions (E&O). MyDispense can provide students, especially those without previous pharmacy experience, the opportunity to practice this skill. One institution explored the relationship between previous community pharmacy experience and performance on E&O activities in a skills lab.

Adverse childhood experiences and associations with mental health, substance use, and violence perpetration among young adults in sub-Saharan Africa.

Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can have debilitating effects on child well-being, with consequences persisting into adulthood. Most ACE studies have been conducted in high-income countries and show a graded relationship between multiple ACE exposures and adverse health outcomes. Less is known about the types and burden of ACEs in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

Impact of removing group SOAP note writing from a problem-based learning course series on documentation performance during experiential rotations.

Background And Purpose: Documentation is a key component of pharmacy education, and SOAP (subjective, objective, assessment, plan) notes are a common framework. Learners must receive feedback, but the amount needed to achieve desired outcomes on experiential rotations is unknown. This study assessed the impact of discontinuing group-written SOAP notes in a four-course problem-based learning (PBL) series on note scores in experiential rotations.

Interprofessional Education at the University Level: Evidence, Models, and Future Directions.

Interprofessional education (IPE) continues to evolve as a critical component of providing quality health care. Emerging evidence suggests IPE is most effective if it exists across the continuum of academia to clinical practice. This article provides current evidence and models for IPE deliv-ery to students beginning in their academic programs.

A review of the direct targets of the cannabinoids cannabidiol, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, N-arachidonoylethanolamine and 2-arachidonoylglycerol.

Marijuana has been used by humans for thousands of years for both medicinal and recreational purposes. This included the treatment of pain, inflammation, seizures, and nausea. In the 1960s, the structure of the principal psychoactive ingredient Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol was determined, and over the next few decades, two cannabinoid receptors were characterized along with the human endocannabinoid system and what it affects.

Evaluating the Need for Competency-Based Pharmacy Education (CBPE): The Report of the 2023-2024 Academic Affairs Standing Committee.

The 2023-2024 Academic Affairs Committee was charged to create a sense of urgency around the concept of Competency-Based Pharmacy Education and develop a "readiness for change" instrument that is based on the 5 essential elements that make up the definition of Competency-Based Pharmacy Education. This report describes the process undertaken by the committee to determine the societal needs of pharmacists and current state of pharmacy practice and pharmacy education. The practice gaps in pharmacy education and the key drivers needed to close these gaps are evaluated.

The role of exercise in aromatase inhibitor-induced arthralgia.

Aromatase inhibitors are prescribed in breast cancer due to their associated lower rate of cancer recurrence compared to tamoxifen. However, aromatase inhibitor-induced arthralgia (AIIA) is one of the leading causes of treatment nonadherence, increasing the risk of cancer recurrence. The pathophysiology of AIIA is poorly understood, and although current recommendations for AIIA include lifestyle changes and analgesics depending on the severity of symptoms, there is no established effective treatment.

Perceptions of Healthcare Workers on the Attributes of the Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response System in Zimbabwe.

Objective: To investigate healthcare workers' perceptions of the integrated disease surveillance and response (IDSR) strategy.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey of healthcare workers (HCWs) was conducted from December 2021 to June 2022 to assess their perceptions of the IDSR system attributes.

Results: Of the 409 respondents, 12 (2.

The Role of Consumerism in Pharmacy Education.

The notion of consumerism and that students are customers of pharmacy colleges was explored by proponents and opponents of the idea. First, a working definition of a "customer" in pharmacy education is pondered with respect to the roles and responsibilities of students and schools/colleges of pharmacy. Second, the pros and cons of "student-centered" education are considered in the light of students and their families being consumers of the educational experience.

Use of a clinical reasoning scaffolding document improves student performance.

Objective: Clinical reasoning is an essential skill set for practicing pharmacists to possess. Given its complex nature, optimal pedagogies for teaching clinical reasoning are largely unknown. The use of scaffolding to expand a student's zone of proximal development and improve clinical reasoning performance was assessed in this study.

Trauma-Informed Care in Pediatric Physical Therapy as a Standard Precaution: The Time Is Here.

In this special communication, an overview of the research on trauma, resilience, and action items for the pediatric physical therapist (PT) is addressed. The experiences of early childhood, positive and negative, impact overall development and well-being throughout the lifespan. Childhood trauma can include exposure to abuse, neglect, violence, racism, or medical procedures.

Student Pharmacists Provide Similar Quality Clinical Reasoning Feedback as Resident Teaching Assistants.

Objective: Pharmacists utilize clinical reasoning (CR) to improve patient outcomes via medication optimization. It is critical to develop these skills in student pharmacists, yet optimal pedagogies to teach and assess CR are unknown. Peer feedback may be used to develop CR in student pharmacists, but a certain feedback quality must be reached to be effective.
