Technology-Related Programming and the AACP Annual Meeting


Here are a few programs scheduled during the AACP Annual Meeting that may be of special interest to Technology-SIG members.   Are there others?  Let us know!


Saturday, July 14

8:30 a.m.–11:30 a.m.Opening Session: Teachers Seminar—Connecting Learners and Teachers: Is there an App for that?

1:00 p.m.–2:30 p.m.
Experiential Education Section: Interprofessional High-fidelity Simulations in the Curriculum: Two Innovations for the Price of One!This is an interactive workshop highlighting the development and delivery of interprofessional simulations using student healthcare teams to deliver patient care using high-fidelity simulators. Use of interprofessional simulations to fulfill ACPE accreditation standards and IPEC core competencies will be discussed. The program will feature best practices and lessons learned from four institutions with a history of broad-scale delivery of interprofessional simulations. Audience participants will begin to plan and exchange ideas for simulation at their institution.


Monday, July 16

3:30 p.m.– 5:00 p.m.
Chemistry Section: Use of Computer-Aided Visualization in Teaching Medicinal Chemistry PrinciplesThis program will demonstrate the use of full motion videos and online resources as tools in teaching medicinal chemistry.


Tuesday, July 17

6:45 a.m.–7:45 a.m.
Technology in Pharmacy Education & Learning SIG:  Business MeetingThis is the annual business meeting of the Technology in Pharmacy Education and Learning (TiPEL) SIG.

8:00 a.m.–9:30 a.m.Special Session: Electronic Health Records (EHR): An Opportunity to Expand Interprofessional Education and Advance Case Based LearningEHR provide a single repository for medical information, may decrease errors and increase interprofessional collaboration. Curricular utilization of EHR teaches students to identify relevant information and formulate therapeutic recommendations. Utilization of the EHR with pre-existing cases or simulated patients allows students to analyze, synthesize and evaluate patient care plans. 

1:30 p.m.–3:00 p.m.Special Session: The Magic of E-Portfolios: Enhancing Student Learning and Programmatic AssessmentImplementation of electronic portfolios (e-portfolio) has improved our efficiency to collect direct evidence of student achievement of learning outcomes. How to use this data to inform curricular decision–making, assure program effectiveness, and report compliance with accreditation standards is not as straightforward. This presentation will discuss principles of programmatic assessment and the role of portfolios, the development of a learning e-portfolio, and show how student artifacts can be assessed after-the-fact for programmatic assessment.

1:30 p.m.–3:00 p.m.Technology in Pharmacy Education & Learning SIG: Using an Electronic Health Record to Simulate Real-World Experiences in Therapeutics and Skills Laboratory CoursesWe intend to facilitate the development of real-world practice experiences useful for all institutions in therapeutics and pharmacy practice skills laboratory courses. We will demonstrate the use of a simulated electronic health record populated by real (de-identified) patient data for the purpose of developing practice skills in students throughout the curriculum.

Wednesday, July 18

8:00 a.m.–9:30 a.m.Special Session: Incorporation of High Fidelity Simulation Learning Experiences Within a Didactic and Experiential CurriculumThree schools of pharmacy will describe the successes and challenges associated with the implementation of simulation into their curriculum. Northeastern University and the University of Pittsburgh will present virtual patient (VP) use scenarios, from the development of early learning to advanced medication therapy management skills. California Northstate University will describe a 60-hour introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE) involving human patient simulators (HPS) and standardized patients (SP) in a high-stress, low-risk environment.
