Abstract

To describe the use of student self-assessments as a measure of the effectiveness of a drug information advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) and to determine whether other APPEs reinforced information-related skills. Students taking a drug information APPE completed a self-assessment survey instrument focusing on key information-related skills on the first day and again on the last day of that APPE. Findings were used to determine the effect of this and other APPEs on perceived information skills. Student ratings were compared with faculty ratings for items with similar wording. Student self-ratings improved after completing the drug information APPE. Other APPEs, gender, and course grade did not significantly impact student perceptions of their information-related knowledge and skills. Student and faculty ratings were similar, although individual variability occurred. Student self-assessments, along with other direct and indirect data, can provide useful information needed to assess and change aspects of the experiential program and curriculum.
