Objectives:
To design and implement curricular modifications to a nonprescription therapeutics course to better meet course objectives.
Design:
Improvements included the addition of journaling, mastery grading, case studies, verbal examinations, educational mentors, and encouraging classroom participation.
Assessment:
Student course evaluations and grades were used to assess the impact of the pedagogical modifications. Course grades indicated that students succeeded in learning at the set mastery level of 80%. Course evaluations indicated students responded positively to the course modifications.
Conclusion:
Ongoing curricular modifications ultimately resulted in a course that met established course objectives.
