目标。引入多导师、基于团队的主动学习练习，以促进药学博士课程中基础科学（病理生理学、药理学和药物化学）和临床科学的整合。设计。一项基于团队的学习活动，包括课前阅读作业、个人和团队回答的多项选择题以及临床案例的评估和讨论，由来自药学科学和药学实践部门的 3 名教员设计、实施和主持。评估。使用多项选择考试、个人准备保证测试（IRAT）、团队准备保证测试（TRAT）以及主观、客观、评估和计划（SOAP）记录来评估学生的表现。使用运动前和运动后调查工具评估学生的态度。学生对抑郁症可能的正确治疗策略的理解有所提高。学生们对药物治疗课程中基础科学知识的真正整合以及来自两个学科的教师在场回答问题表示赞赏。学生在抑郁模块考试中的平均得分为 80.4%，表明对内容的掌握。结论。由多名教师主导的练习提高了学生对团队教学重要性的认识。当来自多个学科的教师在课堂上使用经过验证的基于团队的主动学习练习一起工作时，可以实现一体化的教学和学习。
Objectives. To introduce a multiple-instructor, team-based, active-learning exercise to promote the integration of basic sciences (pathophysiology, pharmacology, and medicinal chemistry) and clinical sciences in a doctor of pharmacy curriculum.Design. A team-based learning activity that involved pre-class reading assignments, individual-and team-answered multiple-choice questions, and evaluation and discussion of a clinical case, was designed, implemented, and moderated by 3 faculty members from the pharmaceutical sciences and pharmacy practice departments.Assessment. Student performance was assessed using a multiple-choice examination, an individual readiness assurance test (IRAT), a team readiness assurance test (TRAT), and a subjective, objective, assessment, and plan (SOAP) note. Student attitudes were assessed using a pre- and post-exercise survey instrument. Students' understanding of possible correct treatment strategies for depression improved. Students were appreciative of this true integration of basic sciences knowledge in a pharmacotherapy course and to have faculty members from both disciplines present to answer questions. Mean student score on the on depression module for the examination was 80.4%, indicating mastery of the content.Conclusions. An exercise led by multiple instructors improved student perceptions of the importance of team-based teaching. Integrated teaching and learning may be achieved when instructors from multiple disciplines work together in the classroom using proven team-based, active-learning exercises.
