Location: Sheraton: Back Bay Ballroom AB
CE: 0.50

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
  • Identify current practices surrounding student success and transitions to professional programs.
  • Summarize how the bridging course's design meets contemporary needs and provides early identification of individual student gaps
This session covers a newly implemented bridging course, “Pharm-Ready,” designed to aid students' transition to the rigorous expectations of pharmacy programs. The course promotes knowledge retrieval and effective learning strategies through cognitive load theory and nontraditional teaching methods. Divided into four tracks, the course covers principles of pharmacy practice, sciences, calculations and metacognitive strategies to cultivate self-directed students. The design strategically identified individual student gaps, allowing for targeted interventions, and maximizing student success.
