Summary
This study found that a videoconference-based academic advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) effectively increased student interest in academic pharmacy careers. Remote learning via videoconferencing did not hinder student learning outcomes or experiences.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Experiential Learning
- Academic Careers
Background:
- Academic pharmacy offers unique career paths.
- Traditional advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs) may have geographical limitations.
- There is a growing need for professionals in academic pharmacy.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate student experiences and learning outcomes of a remote academic APPE.
- To assess faculty preceptor and experiential administration perspectives on a videoconferenced APPE.
- To determine the effectiveness of virtual delivery for specialized pharmacy rotations.
Main Methods:
- A 5-week academic APPE was delivered via videoconferencing, with preceptors and students in separate locations.
- Students completed pre- and post-rotation surveys on perspectives and learning outcomes.
- Faculty self-reflections and administrative documentation were collected.
Main Results:
- 83% of students reported increased interest in academic pharmacy careers post-rotation.
- All students found the videoconference format and geographical distance did not impede their experience.
- Student-reported learning outcomes across nine areas improved after the APPE.
Conclusions:
- The videoconference academic APPE was effective and successful for students, preceptors, and administrators.
- This remote APPE model expands opportunities for students interested in academia, irrespective of location.
- The program successfully introduced students to academic pharmacy careers, addressing a professional need.

01:31Student t Distribution
14.2K
The population standard deviation is rarely known in many day-to-day examples of statistics. When the sample sizes are large, it is easy to estimate the population standard deviation using a confidence interval, which provides results close enough to the original value. However, statisticians ran into problems when the sample size was small. A small sample size caused inaccuracies in the confidence interval.

1.7K
Student's t-test in Microsoft Excel is a statistical method used to compare the means of two groups to determine if they are significantly different from each other. It's commonly used to evaluate hypotheses, such as testing whether a treatment has an effect compared to a control group. Excel provides built-in functions to perform t-tests, making it accessible for users needing to conduct basic statistical analysis.

01:09Comparing Experimental Results: Student's t-Test
6.0K
The t-test is a statistical method used to compare the sample mean with a population mean or compare two means from two data sets. The test statistic is calculated from the standard deviation, mean, and number of measurements in the data set at a selected confidence interval and then compared to a table of critical values at this confidence level. If the test statistic is smaller than the critical value, the null hypothesis is accepted. In this case, we state that the difference between the...

In parametric statistics, two fundamental tests stand out for their utility and wide application: the Student's t-test and goodness-of-fit tests. These tests provide researchers with a robust method for drawing insights from data, testing hypotheses, and making informed decisions based on their findings.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

03:37Uncertainty in Measurement: Accuracy and Precision
101.2K
Scientists typically make repeated measurements of a quantity to ensure the quality of their findings and to evaluate both the precision and the accuracy of their results. Measurements are said to be precise if they yield very similar results when repeated in the same manner. A measurement is considered accurate if it yields a result that is very close to the true or the accepted value. Precise values agree with each other; accurate values agree with a true value.
