Summary
This study defines five essential elements for competency-based pharmacy education (CBPE), focusing on outcomes, learner-centeredness, and authentic assessment to meet societal needs.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Competency-Based Education
- Curriculum Development
Background:
- The need for a standardized definition of competency-based pharmacy education (CBPE) is critical.
- Existing definitions require refinement to align with educational theory and evidence.
Purpose of the Study:
- To define the essential elements of a competency-based pharmacy education (CBPE) definition.
- To identify key components for each element based on educational principles.
- To determine how these elements address the identified needs for CBPE.
Main Methods:
- An integrative review was performed by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy CBPE Task Force.
- Comparison with competency-based education definitions across various educational levels.
- Consensus development on core components and evaluation of fit with stakeholder needs.
Main Results:
- Five essential elements for CBPE were identified: meeting health care and societal needs, an outcomes-based curricular model, de-emphasized time, a learner-centered culture, and authentic teaching and learning strategies aligned to assessments.
- These elements provide a framework for developing and implementing CBPE.
Conclusions:
- This work establishes a common language for competency-based pharmacy education (CBPE).
- The defined essential elements serve as a foundation for future research and implementation of CBPE.

2.1K
Understanding drugs, drug products, and their performance in pharmaceutical science is pivotal. Drugs, whether simple molecules or complex compounds, are designed to interact with the body's biological systems to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases. Drug products include various delivery systems such as tablets, capsules, injections, and inhalers. The performance of these drug products is gauged by their ability to deliver the active ingredient to the desired site of action at the...

01:14Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Compartment Models
107
Compartmental analysis is a widely adopted approach to characterizing drug pharmacokinetics. It uses compartment models that conceptualize the body as a collection of reversibly communicating compartments, each representing a group of tissues exhibiting similar drug distribution characteristics. The movement rate of the drug between these compartments is typically described by first-order kinetics.
Two primary types of compartment models are recognized: mammillary and catenary. The more...

241
The three-compartment open model is a pharmacokinetic model used to describe the distribution and elimination of drugs following extravascular administration. It comprises a central compartment representing the plasma and two peripheral compartments. The highly perfused peripheral compartment represents organs and tissues with a rich blood supply, such as the liver, kidneys, and lungs. The scarcely perfused peripheral compartment represents tissues with lower blood supply, such as adipose...

2.0K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

01:14Multicompartment Models: Overview
151
Multicompartment models are mathematical constructs that depict how drugs are distributed and eliminated within the body. They segment the body into several compartments, symbolizing various physiological or anatomical areas connected through drug transfer processes such as absorption, metabolism, distribution, and elimination.
These models offer a more comprehensive representation of drug behavior in the body than one-compartment models. They accommodate the complexity of drug distribution,...

5.6K
The two-compartment model divides the body into central and peripheral compartments to account for varying blood perfusion rates among organs and tissues, affecting drug distribution. The central compartment includes blood and highly perfused tissues with rapid drug distribution, while the peripheral compartment contains tissues with slower drug distribution. After a single IV bolus dose, the drug concentration is high in plasma and low in tissues. The drug distribution between compartments...
