Washington, DC.  2009, 2012  You are encouraged to use your notes, textbooks, and assigned readings from PHAR 412 and 452 to optimize your learning experience.  Additional resources may be placed on Moodle.  Course Description:  Clinical case scenarios, discussions, and presentations designed to allow students the opportunity to prepare for, develop, and practice patient-care skills.  Particular attention will be paid to non-prescription drugs and devices, and topics that will complement those being studied and discussed in Therapeutics II (PHAR452) and Practice III (PHAR412).  Communication skills (written and verbal), overall participation in discussion, lecture, presentations, and debates will be strongly stressed.  Toward the end of the semester, each student is required to deliver a short “in-service” presentation in preparation for their hospital IPPE.  Course Objectives:  Upon completing the course, students should be able to: 1)  Develop and refine patient interviewing and communication skills; 2)  Assess the nature and severity of a patient's signs and symptoms, primary complaint or product recommendation request; 3)  Counsel and educate patients on appropriate therapy including medications, medical devices and non-pharmacological therapies; 4)  Select and recommend appropriate OTC products; 5)  Identify potential barriers to communication and employ methods to reduce them; 6)  Show awareness of and sensitivity towards different types of patient health beliefs; 7)  Demonstrate problem solving skills when confronted with cultural or communication barriers to providing care; 8)  Appropriately refer a patient to another healthcare provider when indicated; 9)  Demonstrate professional attitudes and habits when communicating with patients and other health care providers.  Attendance:  Attendance is required at each session.  Missed labs, for any reason will need to be made-up by attending one of the other days.  Students who are unexpectedly absent must contact the lab instructor ASAP.  If there will be a known absence, a student may switch their lab session with another student that week, provided the instructor is informed well-ahead of time.  If a make-up lab is required for an unexcused absence, the instructor will deduct points at her or his discretion.   Dress Code:  The laboratory environment should be treated as if it is your job.  Name tags are to be worn during lab hours.  Clean, unwrinkled lab coats are to be worn over any attire that does not meet acceptable professional standards (e.g. over jeans and t-shirt, sweats, etc).  Hats of any kind, on men or women, are not permitted.  Professionalism:  This course is designed to create an environment for learning.  As always, professional behavior is expected (no texting, no conversing while others are speaking, etc.).  Students exhibiting unprofessional behavior may be instructed to remove themselves from the class at the discretion of the instructor.   Grading: Students are expected to participate and interact.  Participation and assignments will be graded.  In-service presentations will be scored at 50 points each. Participation by the rest of the class in terms of asking questions, offering comments, etc., will count toward individual scores per skills lab.

All other weeks during in-service presentations will be worth 15 points.  Participation Grading Scheme Points will be deducted from “professionalism” for the following:        1) Tardiness (for any reason)        2) Unprofessional attire        3) Unprofessional behavior (reading paper, dozing off, distractive talking, inappropriate language, etc.)        4) Lack of participation  Points will be deducted at the discretion of the laboratory instructor.

Academic misconduct is subject to an academic penalty by the course instructor and/or a disciplinary sanction by the University.  All students need to be familiar with the Student Conduct Code. The Code is available for review online at http://www.umt.edu/SA/VPSA/index.cfm/page/1321.   Students with disabilites: If you are a student with a disability who will require reasonable program modification in this course, please meet with Disability Services for Students in Lommasson 154 for assistance in developing a plan to address program modifications. If you are already working with Disability Services arrange to meet with me during my office hours to discuss reasonable modifications that may be necessary.

Date:  Presentations will begin the week of April 14.  Students will be randomly assigned presentation dates.  Exchanging dates with another student is fine, but you must let your instructor know well ahead of time.    Topic:  Choose a new medication or a new indication for an existing medication from the list of topics which will be provided.  For presentation, “new” is defined as any medication released into the market within the past three years.  If you have a great idea for an inservice topic (must be a medication) that is not on the list, talk to the course coordinator to get topic approved or rejected.  Audience: The seminar presentation must be appropriate for healthcare workers, so students should gear their presentations to that audience.  What to Cover:  Drug name (brand/generic)     ADRs  Indications       Interactions  Efficacy       Dosage/administration  Containdications/warnings/precautions   How supplied  MOA        Cost  This is not an all-inclusive list; there may be other very pertinent information that you will want to discuss (e.g. toxicology, pharmacokinetics, short background on type of disease treated, ongoing trials, etc).  As much as possible, relate these topics to the clinical trials (what was the efficacy rate during the trials, placebo rates and differences, ADR rates, how were the trials set-up, etc.).  References:  Use at least two primary source references, which must be turned in after your presentation is completed.    Overhead Transparencies: Each student must use at least three overhead transparencies for their presentation (it is likely that more will be appropriate).  Written formatting tips will be provided to students before Spring Break.  Students may request free overhead transparencies from the Pharmacy Practice Department Admin Assistant, Shannon Sivertsen (SB 316).  You must get your overheads to her at least ONE day before you need them.  The transparencies will be in black and white.  Computer-based presentations (e.g., PowerPoint  ) will not be allowed.  Peer Review You will be required to provide written feedback to your peers on their presentations.  Your evaluation will cover speaking skills, content, format, organization, and confidence.  Your comments will be reviewed by the instructor prior to release to the student presenter.  If Necessary, Revise and Present Again.  If your initial presentation does not meet minimum standards, you will be asked to revise and present it again.  These “encore” presentations will be slated during the last week of lab and conducted after the rest of the initial presentations have been completed.    Evaluation forms (for both faculty evaluator and students) will be posted on Moodle so that students have a firm understanding of what the instructors will be grading in these presentations.
