This study details an interactive drug information skills course for hospital pharmacists. The program, developed with a pharmacy school, was well-received due to its practical, engaging, and flexible design.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Continuing Professional Development

Background:

  • Hospital pharmacists identified a need for improved drug information skills in daily practice.
  • Existing drug information training may not adequately address the practical needs of healthcare professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development, implementation, and evaluation of an interactive drug information skills course for hospital pharmacists.
  • To enhance pharmacists' proficiency in drug information retrieval and application.

Main Methods:

  • Collaborative development and instruction by pharmacy school faculty and hospital pharmacy staff.
  • Needs assessment via self-reported proficiency ratings among pharmacy staff.
  • Pilot testing and refinement of course content and format based on participant feedback.

    • Main Results:

    • Eleven pharmacists completed a pilot program, leading to course refinement.
    • Of 16 enrolled pharmacists, 11 successfully completed the course.
    • The course was well-accepted by participants.
    • Key elements contributing to acceptance included incorporation of personal experiences, small-group activities, and flexible scheduling.

    Conclusions:

    • An interactive, needs-based drug information skills course can effectively meet the demands of hospital pharmacists.
    • Adult learning principles and flexible scheduling enhance participant engagement and course completion.
    • Such programs contribute to improved drug information competency in clinical practice.
