Abstract
This project was to implement a ”capstone” pharma- cotherapeutics course to: (1) Develop students’ ability in assemblingknowledge from previous courses; (2) Expose students to different aspects of pharmacypractice. The course consisted of 3-h lecture, 1-h recitation and 1-h group project per week. Topics covered include: patient management issues in ambulatory care, critical care, long term care and hospice care, and providing pharrnaceu- ticalconsultation.Students were dividedinto groups and assigned projects to complete and present towards the end of the semester. Projects included developing drug formulary kits, medication utilization criteria, education symposiums and providing medical-legal and market- ing consultation. Overall, students performed well in the course (class average 84%). Students provided neutral feedback to whether the course had achieved its objectives. More assessment in problem-solving skills and student feedback needs to be obtained in order to justify whether this course helps students to apply the growing body of pharmaceuticalknowledge.
