| Project Summary | As a requirement of practice, pharmacists must demonstrate the ability to coherently summarize a patient’s condition and medication treatment plan in a patient’s medical record. Clinical documentation is both an art and a science requiring practice to become efficient, effective and confident. Although students in the Entry-to-Practice Doctor of Pharmacy (E2P PharmD) Program are introduced to basic concepts in clinical writing, opportunities to further develop these skills beyond an introductory level prior to practicums are limited. Based on our first-hand observations and feedback the Faculty has received from practice educators, students on practicums struggle with completing written documentation when faced with real life patient scenarios and timelines. The objective of this project is to develop and implement online modules using real patient scenarios to teach pharmacy students standardized approaches to documenting clinical assessments and plans. |
