Abstract
BackgroundDeficits in pharmacology knowledge are a common cause of medication errors among nurses. Building adequate understanding across cohorts that vary in their clinical and theoretical expertise can be challenging. A pharmacology subject redesign supported connections and knowledge transfer across multiple nursing cohorts and embedded authentic (real-world, relevant) learning activities to meet 21st century nursing workforce needs. InnovationOur revised curriculum with embedded scenario-based online modules, interactive learning activities, self-check assessments, case scenario group discussion in synchronous workshops, reflections on case study group discussion after the workshop and discussion boards, allows students to build their pharmacology knowledge within the context of medication management. ImplicationsAdditional asynchronous elements supported peer-to-peer learning and knowledge exchange in the redesigned curriculum, whilst online modules foster students’ skills in authentic scenario-based learning relevant to their future clinical practice. ConclusionsOur revised curriculum was intended to enable multiple nursing cohorts to better build comprehensive pharmacology knowledge to inform their future clinical practice. Further work is required to evaluate the impact of this new curriculum design.
