A Computerized Functional Skills Assessment and Training Program Targeting Technology Based Everyday Functional Skills
Published on: February 13, 2020
Abstract:
Hospital pharmacy residents participated in a program designed to introduce them to computer systems useful in pharmacy practice and to provide them with access to a variety of computer resources that could be helpful in completing their residency projects. Using existing computer facilities, various short courses and individual tutorials were employed to train residents in a variety of computer skills. These courses provided a useful vehicle for recent pharmacist graduates to acquire necessary computer skills not obtained during their academic training. Because the program provided residents with the tools needed for the management and analysis of large data sets, a marked increase occurred in the number of residency projects acceptable for publication in peer-reviewed pharmacy journals. Thus, residency projects improved in quality and faculty preceptors were more motivated to get involved in such projects.
