Summary
The Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) may help assess intercultural competence in pharmacy schools, but its validity in health professions education requires further confirmation. Schools should weigh practical implications before adoption.
Area of Science:
- Health Professions Education
- Intercultural Competence Assessment
Background:
- U.S. pharmacy schools require enhanced intercultural competence among all stakeholders.
- The Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) is a potential tool for measuring intercultural competence.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the theoretical basis of the IDI.
- To assess the established validity of the IDI in health professions education.
- To discuss practical considerations for implementing the IDI.
Main Methods:
- Searched Medline, Embase, and health professional education journals.
- Identified studies using the IDI in health professions education.
- Applied a standardized approach for article eligibility.
Main Results:
- Ten studies were identified through full-text review.
- None of the identified studies investigated the validity of the IDI within health professions education.
Conclusions:
- The IDI's validity is confirmed in some contexts, but not yet in health professions education.
- Pharmacy schools must evaluate the practical and resource implications of using the IDI.

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.

01:16Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In vitro
282
In vitro experiments are crucial for understanding the transport and absorption of drugs through biological materials. These studies employ varied methods such as the diffusion cell method, the everted sac technique, and the everted ring technique.
The diffusion cell method uses a two-compartment cell, including a donor compartment with the drug solution, which simulates the environment where the drug is applied, and a receptor compartment with a buffer solution, which simulates the environment...
