Abstrakt: Background and Purpose: Clinical toxicology is a blend of science, research, and patient management practices involving human poisonings from exposure to natural and synthetic toxins. The objective of this study was to describe the components of an elective advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) in clinical toxicology at California Poison Control System (CPCS).
Educational Activity and Setting: The APPE requirements included a mix of active participation in case management and supplemental educational exercises, case presentations and consultations, and a structured self-study component consisting of readings and on-line modules. In addition, there were two active learning activities, high acuity poisoning simulation scenarios utilizing a high-fidelity mannequin, and an antidote tasting session.
Findings: From April 2012 to October 2017, 82 student pharmacists completed this APPE. Pharmacy students completed 85 pre-simulation surveys and 80 post-simulation surveys. Survey results showed an increase in pharmacy student beliefs that a clinical pharmacist should be involved in the differential diagnosis and management of patients (60% pre-simulation vs. 78.8% post-simulation, p = 0.009). APPE pharmacy students completed an evaluation of the preceptors(s), site, and learning experience. The average score for all areas on the preceptor and site evaluations was >4.5 on a 5-point Likert scale. Qualitative data themes included student satisfaction with opportunities, feedback, and the interprofessional and collaborative environment.
Summary: An APPE in the CPCS was successfully designed and implemented. The APPE provides an interprofessional collaborative learning environment that allows student pharmacists to understand the unique role of the pharmacist in this setting.
