| Popis: | To assess the impact of coordinated didactic, simulation-based, and experiential learning on pharmacy students' knowledge and confidence with Medicare Part D and their accuracy and proficiency with the Medicare Plan Finder Tool.Forty-two pharmacy students participated in a two-semester Medicare Part D elective course in which didactic, simulation-based and experiential learning methods were employed. Students' knowledge, confidence, accuracy, and proficiency were assessed at three course time points: first day of class, last day of in-class education, and after completion of outreach.Student confidence with Part D and efficiency using the Plan Finder Tool significantly improved at each successive time point (p0.01). Student knowledge was significantly improved both on the last day of class and after outreach completion as compared to the first day of class (p0.01).Basic Part D knowledge improved with the didactic and simulation-based portion of the course. The experiential component improved student confidence and efficiency in helping Medicare beneficiaries. |
