Pharmacy students effectively self-assess their performance during experiential rotations. This consistency in self-reflection with preceptor evaluations suggests a reliable method for evaluating pharmacy learner development.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Health Professions Education
- Reflective Practice
Background:
- Developing practice-ready pharmacists requires self-awareness and reflective abilities.
- Reflective practices are crucial in pharmacy education but often lack structured implementation.
- This study aimed to assess the consistency of pharmacy learner self-reflections against preceptor evaluations.
Observation:
- Learner self-evaluations were compared with preceptor and pharmacy resident evaluations.
- A single-point rubric was used for clinical presentations, patient counseling, and drug information responses.
- Data were gathered from de-identified evaluations of experiential rotations.
Findings:
- No significant differences were found between student self-scores and evaluator scores.
- Sixty-eight evaluations were reviewed, mostly from Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences.
- Students demonstrated consistent self-reflection when using single-point rubrics.
Implications:
- Pharmacy students can reliably self-evaluate their performance in key experiential learning activities.
- Single-point rubrics facilitate consistent self-assessment and evaluation in pharmacy education.
- This supports the integration of structured self-reflection in pharmacy curricula to enhance learner development.
