Transforming Pharmacy Education through Backward Design and Integration

• In Event: ST&C - Leadership by Design: Transforming University Programs

Short Description

The increasing knowledge-base of the health profession with no increase in instructional time requires healthcare educators to refocus from an emphasis on content coverage. This practice session describes the systemic change process of instructional designers collaborating with pharmacy educators to transform a traditional content based curriculum to one where content is closely interwoven with the transfer context. The session will present our progress to this point and implications of lessons learned.
