The response to COVID-19 created a need to evaluate options and develop innovative solutions to assure students progressed towards graduation. Creating both a Community Pharmacy APPE Test-Out Option and a Virtual Community Pharmacy APPE was a positive experience which provided a vital resource for students who were unable to complete the traditional Community Pharmacy APPE due to the pandemic.
Recognizing opioid addiction and overdose: An interprofessional simulation for medical, nursing and pharmacy students
Journal of Interprofessional Education & PracticeEric F. Egelund, et al.

Health science students need to be prepared to recognize and treat opioid overdose. A high-fidelity opioid overdose simulation was created to assess use of team-based communication strategies and competence in behaviors of interprofessional health science students (medical, nursing and pharmacy). Measureable outcomes were 1) frequency and quality of team-based behaviors through video analysis and 2) care delays and patient harm experienced by the simulated patient through a checklist tool.
Multistation Simulations and Deliberate Practice to Reinforce Huddle Behaviors in Interprofessional Student Teams
Clinical Simulation in NursingJane Gannon, et al.
2020-01-10
Communication gaps in health care systems occur because of different care priorities of health care professionals. Such gaps contribute to errors, a significant cause of death in the United States. Framed by Ericsson's Expertise Theory, 20 teams of interprofessional health science students rotated through four scenarios with built-in medication errors after exposure to TeamSTEPPS® Essentials skills. Huddles improved in size and duration between rounds one and four. Huddle duration was inversely associated with care delays and patient harm. Attitudes toward teamwork improved significantly. Multistation simulations facilitate deliberate practice of skills, enabling student improvement over time in critical competencies.
