Innovative Approaches to Teaching Dyslipidemia Management in a Required Pharmacy Therapeutics Sequence

摘要

>Objective. To describe a novel design on teaching dyslipidemia management that would help students compare and apply past and current clinical recommendations using a variety of new mechanisms.>Methods. Didactic time consisted of three sections: lecture; faculty-led panel discussion; and interactive, progressive, student-driven patient case. The accompanying case studies course involved varying interactive student activities, including literature review, adverse event reporting, and immediate feedback assessment tools.>Results. Students performed well on audience response questions, dyslipidemia examination questions, and in-class case studies activities. Subjective student and faculty feedback were positive for the entire innovation.>Conclusion. The redesigned dyslipidemia module gives students exposure to overall management of this disease state through several innovative approaches that can be repeated in other courses to enhance learning.
