Teachers' Seminar: Navigating the Clinical Puzzle: Fostering and Assessing Clinical Reasoning in Experiential Pharmacy Education
Saturday, July 20, 2024
9:30 AM - 10:15 AM East Coast USA Time
Location: Sheraton: Liberty AB
CE: 0.75
Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
Describe the role of critical thinking and clinical reasoning in pharmacy practice.
Compare and contrast potential educational activities that can be used to develop clinical reasoning in the experiential education setting.
Develop a clinical reasoning activity for learners at a specific introductory and/or advanced pharmacy practice experience site.
Clinical reasoning is the application of critical thinking to specific patient care scenarios and is an important skill to develop in student pharmacists. Experiential sites serve as excellent settings for this skill development. However, given the demands of maintaining a practice site and supporting a well-rounded student experience, preceptors may find it difficult to assess and/or develop clinical reasoning in their experiential learners. This session will describe the role of clinical reasoning in pharmacy practice and explore potential methods for assessing and developing clinical reasoning in the experiential education setting.
