Objective : To describe the impact of integrated active learning sessions on second year doctor of pharmacy (P2) students’ understanding of course content and learning experience in an Integrated Pharmacotherapy (IP) course.

Methods: This is a prospective, observational, survey-based research study conducted at The Ohio State University in the Integrated Pharmacotherapy 2 course during the spring semester of 2024. Integrated Pharmacotherapy is a large, interdisciplinary, team-taught pharmacotherapy course. Throughout the 2023-2024 academic year, P2 students participated in a variety of active learning session types with some being focused on a single topic and discipline (e.g. therapeutics of pneumonia), to others being integrated with multiple disciplines around the same topic (e.g. pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, and therapeutics of contraception). P2 students received an invitation to participate in an anonymous supplemental evaluation administered via Qualtrics™. The supplemental evaluation is an 11-item survey regarding student preferences and impact of active learning approach on study time.

Results: Research in progress.

Conclusions: Results of this survey will inform future course design and active learning approach to enhance student learning.
