This guide helps residency programs evaluate teaching curricula using a quantitative and qualitative assessment tool. It identifies areas for improvement in teaching and learning curricula for better program outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Clinical Pharmacy Residency Programs
Background:
- The American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) Educational Affairs Committee addressed the need for evaluating resident teaching curricula.
- Accreditation standards increasingly emphasize the teaching and learning curriculum (TLC).
Framework:
- Developed a self-assessment guide with rubrics for evaluating resident teaching outcomes.
- Modeled after ACCP white papers and ASHP accreditation standards for PGY1 residencies.
Implementation:
- The guide assesses basic and expanded teaching and learning curricula.
- Includes criteria for program goals, mentoring, readings, teaching experiences, and assessment methods.
- Provides additional guidance for expanded curricula: teaching philosophy, seminars, course development, and academic committees.
Implications:
- Facilitates self-assessment using a "not present," "developing," "well developed" scale.
- Enables program directors to identify strengths and areas for improvement in teaching curricula.
- Supports targeted enhancements to the teaching and learning curriculum for improved residency program quality and outcomes.
