Key Points

  • The aim is to assess how a specific curriculum structure affects student pharmacists' perceived competency in key skills.
  • Cross-sectional study design
  • Evaluation of student pharmacists' perceived competencies
  • Comparison of competency before and after curriculum intervention
  • Students reported increased competency in the pharmacists' patient care process after the curriculum introduction
  • Competency levels were maintained over an extended period
  • Positive feedback on the effectiveness of case-based learning in skill retention

Abstract

A curriculum structure in which students are initially introduced to a set of skills and then allowed to practice those skills in a case-based setting over an extended period appears to be effective in initially increasing and then maintaining student perceived competency in PPCP, EHR, and DI skills.
