Summary
Implementing an early-warning system and targeted remediation strategies significantly improved on-time graduation rates and reduced attrition in a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program. These interventions enhanced student success and program retention.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Student Support Services
Background:
- Academic support is crucial for student success in demanding professional programs.
- Identifying at-risk students early allows for timely interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To outline remediation and early-warning strategies in a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program.
- To assess the impact of these strategies on student success metrics like attrition and graduation rates.
Main Methods:
- Developed in-course and post-course remediation procedures for timely student support.
- Implemented an early-warning system to identify at-risk students and provide personalized advising.
- Focused on improving study habits and integrating student-directed learning.
Main Results:
- A 10% improvement in on-time graduation and total attrition rates was observed.
- In-course remediation pass rate: 89%; post-course remediation pass rate: 94%.
- Without remediation, attrition would have been 20.3% vs. the actual 13.5%.
Conclusions:
- A multifaceted approach combining early-warning systems and remediation positively impacts PharmD student success.
- Proactive identification and tailored support improve graduation rates and reduce attrition.
- Comprehensive support mechanisms are vital for student progression and program retention.

1.5K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.

Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

01:25Strategies for Assessing and Addressing Confounding

Confounding is a critical issue in epidemiological studies, often leading to misleading conclusions about associations between exposures and outcomes. It occurs when the relationship between the exposure and the outcome is mixed with the effects of other factors that influence the outcome. Given that, addressing confounding is of high importance for drawing accurate inferences in research.

1.2K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

01:30Information Processing Approach

The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...
