Program faculty, led by Program Director Jill Kolesar, developed the curriculum to address program outcomes. Faculty divided content presentations according to their respective areas of expertise/practice. Presentations, practice opportunities, assessments, and feedback were all developed by the faculty to maximize convenience of flip-classroom teaching and live team-based learning.
Guest faculty with specific expertise will contribute to the program with case presentations and discussion facilitation.
The means of distributing information, exercises, and educational sessions will be via the ACCP learning management system, and Zoom (for live modules). Throughout the entire program, the instructors are available by email or phone to answer questions and provide feedback.
Content and learning materials will be reviewed prior to and after each offering of the activity.
Electronic program evaluations will be performed at the conclusion of the program and required prior to issuing certificates and CPE.
To receive continuing pharmacy education credit and a certificate of completion, participants must receive 70% or better on each assessed exercise and attest to attending all live online video sessions. Two attempts will be allowed for each graded exercise.
Program Practice Activities and Assessments:
Each module/week runs from Tuesday through Monday. See the separate schedule for weekly details and due dates. The activities and assessments in this program include:
Live Video: Attend and participate in eleven live video sessions via Zoom. (see schedule above)
Exercises: Complete online exercises for the specified modules.
Each exercise is due at the end of the week, prior to the next live video session. Each module/week runs from Tuesday through Monday.)
Mock MTB: Prepare and present a case at a mock MTB session during one live video session.
