This study presents an evidence-based approach for pharmacy curriculum development using design models like Taba. It aims to prepare students for practice-ready careers in the evolving healthcare landscape.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Curriculum Design
Background:
- The pharmacy profession requires dynamic curricula to prepare students for an evolving healthcare landscape.
- Developing evidence-based coursework presents a challenge for curriculum innovators.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the application of curriculum design models for purposeful new curriculum development.
- To guide the creation of practice-ready pharmacy practitioners, including those in Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPEs).
Main Methods:
- The study utilizes a case study approach to develop a novel rural health course.
- The Taba curriculum design model is employed to guide content selection, objectives, teaching strategies, learning experiences, and evaluation.
Main Results:
- The Taba model provides a systematic, evidence-based framework for curriculum development.
- This approach facilitates the creation of purposeful and replicable pharmacy curricula.
Conclusions:
- Integrating curriculum design models offers a systematic approach to developing relevant and effective pharmacy education.
