Objectives To determine the relative benefits of three different models of advanced pharmacy practice experience ( APPE) in successfully integrating the delivery of direct patient care into students' final year community pharmacy clerkships. Methods All fourth-year pharmacy students at the University of British Columbia were divided into one of three study arms for their community APPE: a 2 × 4-week rotation in a traditional format, a 1 × 8-week rotation where their preceptors had experienced a 2-day education course and a 1 × 8-week rotation with both preceptor education plus a 5-day pre- APPE in-store orientation and peer debriefing. Key findings All 123 students conducted patient consultations and documented their care. Students in the pre- APPE + preceptor education arm provided nearly double the number of direct patient consultations than did students in the preceptor-education-only arm or the traditional 2 × 4-week arm. Numbers of drug-related problems identified and interventions performed per patient consult did not differ across study arms. Conclusions Pre- APPE orientation activities provided an enhanced learning environment, promoted greater student engagement, provided care to more patients, increased preceptor preparedness and enhanced in-store patient-centred care practice. Certain of these learning activities can also form part of third- and fourth-year introductory pharmacy practice experiences to prepare students for their final-year APPE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
