目标。开发、实施和评估需要整合和应用骨关节炎和类风湿性关节炎的病理生理学、药物化学、药理学和治疗学知识的主动学习练习,以制定肌肉骨骼疾病患者的治疗建议。设计。开发了两个基于团队的案例研究练习,一个评估骨关节炎患者,另一个评估类风湿关节炎患者,包括病理生理学、药物化学、药理学和治疗学的材料和问题。学习任务在必修的药物治疗模块中实施。评估。通过小组案例研究练习和两次考试的表现来评估学生的学习情况。使用标准的学生课程评价来评估学生对学习活动的印象。骨性关节炎和类风湿关节炎活动的平均分分别为9.1分和8.9分(满分为10分)。大多数学生表示,学习练习在帮助学生学习方面是绰绰有余的。结论。主动学习活动的增加成功地教授了药学学生为肌肉骨骼疾病患者制定治疗建议所需的知识。
Objective. To develop, implement, and evaluate active-learning exercises requiring the integration and application of pathophysiology, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, and therapeutics knowledge of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis to formulate therapeutic recommendations for patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Design. Two team-based case study exercises, one evaluating a patient with osteoarthritis and the second, a patient with rheumatoid arthritis, were developed, incorporating material and questions from pathophysiology, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, and therapeutics. The learning assignments were implemented in a required pharmacotherapy module. Assessment. Student learning was evaluated using performance on the team-based case study exercises and on 2 examinations. A standard student course evaluation was used to assess students’ impressions of the learning activity. The mean student grades for the osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis activities were 9.1 and 8.9, respectively, on a 10-point scale. The majority of students indicated that the learning exercises were more than adequate to excellent in helping students learn. Conclusion. The addition of active-learning activities was successful in teaching pharmacy students the knowledge needed to formulate therapeutic recommendations for patients with musculoskeletal disorders.
