Abstrakt: Objective. To describe and evaluate how a design thinking approach aided the creation of the 2021 American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Teachers' Seminar. Methods. The design thinking framework (ie, inspiration, ideation, and implementation) was used to structure the seminar development process from July 2020 to July 2021. Nine committee members engaged in a persona activity (ie, inspiration), a brainstorming activity (ie, ideation), and a prototyping activity (ie, implementation) to create a user-centered learning experience. Twenty-five small group facilitators were then recruited to create and deliver breakout session content. After the seminar, the team was invited to debrief their experience in a focus group and an electronic survey to evaluate the perceived impact of using design thinking in the planning process. Results. Twenty-one (62%) of the 34 committee members and small group facilitators attended the focus group, and 28 (82%) completed the electronic survey. Most agreed that design thinking was a useful approach to support the Teachers' Seminar, and they were generally positive about the experience. There was a significant increase in self-reported creative self-efficacy for coming up with novel ideas, ability to solve problems, and helping expand others' ideas. Team members identified positive attributes about the seminar and planning process as well as areas for improvement. Team members also acknowledged challenges and potential solutions for professional organizations and program developers to consider when creating user-centered experiences. Conclusion. Design thinking can be a useful framework for seminar planning and implementation to create engaging, meaningful, and valuable educator development experiences.
