Postgraduate pharmacy programs should develop teaching and learning curriculum (TLC) experiences. These programs offer valuable teaching skills for practitioners and academicians, requiring transparency and systematic assessment for optimal participant outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Pedagogy
- Postgraduate Training
Background:
- Teaching and Learning Curriculum (TLC) programs are increasingly recognized in postgraduate pharmacy education.
- Currently, no national standards or regulations exist for these programs, often termed "teaching certificate programs."
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the landscape of existing TLC programs in postgraduate pharmacy education.
- To develop a framework and recommendations for the design and content of best-practice TLC programs.
Main Methods:
- A systematic review of literature and conference proceedings was conducted.
- Expert opinion and author experience were incorporated over a two-year period.
- Consensus was reached on a policy statement and 12 recommendations.
Main Results:
- The developed framework addresses key aspects of TLC programs, including value, content, and participant feedback.
- Recommendations cover essential elements like teaching portfolios, resource allocation, and programmatic assessment.
- Transparency and accreditation are highlighted as crucial for program integrity.
Conclusions:
- TLC programs equip postgraduate pharmacy trainees with essential teaching knowledge and skills for diverse career paths.
- Program transparency, systematic implementation, and thorough assessment are vital for ensuring high-quality participant experiences.
