Construction of the teaching case library on clinical pharmacy for pharmacy residents

Abstract

A teaching case library of clinical pharmacy was constructed to improve case teaching for pharmacy residents. Through establishment of draft requirement and organizing a group of authors constituted by preceptors of pharmacy residents, the teaching cases were written, the contents and forms of which were assessed by teaching demonstration, interactively examined and revised by fellow teachers, audited and screened by senior pharmacists, and thus a case library was collaborated, processed and established. Finally, a case library was formed, which included 11 systems, such as endocrine, cardiovascular and neurological systems, and 32 cases of drug treatment for common diseases in each system. The construction of case library has enhanced the teaching consciousness and skills of resident pharmacists' teaching team. This case library will become an important resource for teaching and scientific research in the future. Key words: Pharmacy residents; Clinical pharmacy; Teaching case library; Construction
