Afflicted with kidney cancer, Fred suffered poor care coordination, a lack of access to data and a series of medical errors and, as a result, lost his battle. These institutional flaws spurred Holliday to try to improve care for her husband, as well as for all patients who are abused in this way. As a result, Fred’s death inspired Holliday to use painting as a catalyst for change.

With her passion for advocating for patients to receive timely access to their healthcare data, her artwork became part of the national healthcare debate. Backed by her own patient and caregiving experiences, Regina Holliday travels the globe heralding her message of patient empowerment and inclusion in healthcare decision-making, offering guidance on crowd funding in healthcare. She fearlessly stands before officials and practitioners demanding a thoughtful dialogue on the role patients play in their own healthcare.

This session also brings recognition to the importance of engaging with communities and recognizes the recipients of the Lawrence C. Weaver Transformative Community Service Award and the Rufus A. Lyman Award.

Mini Session: Incorporating a Longitudinal Progressive Disclosure Case in Multiple Therapeutics Courses

Lincoln C, Level M

Introductory

Intended Audience: Pharmacy Practice Section; Curriculum Special Interest Group

Case-based learning is an integral part of pharmacy education. Often, stand-alone cases are used for different disease states, which may result in segmented learning that does not simulate realistic longitudinal patient care. This session presents a novel approach of using a progressive disclosure case surrounding a single patient throughout two therapeutics courses in an effort to help students better implement the Pharmacists’ Patient Care Process. Assessment strategies for this method will also be described.

(Speaker) Marian Gaviola, University of North Texas System; (Speaker) Meredith L. Howard, University of North Texas System

At the completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

Discuss the potential advantages of using progressive disclosure case studies in various teaching environments.

Special Session: Adaptation of Supplemental Instruction (SI), a Pre-Remediation, Peer-Led Academic Assistance Program, to Pharm.D. Programs

Lincoln DE, Level M

Introductory

Intended Audience: Curriculum Special Interest Group; Student Services Personnel Special Interest Group; Pharmaceutics Section

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a pre-remediation, peer-led academic assistance program widely used in undergraduate education and selected healthcare programs. Few reports of SI in Pharm.D. education exist (Mosley, et al, 2013), however SI is well-suited to Pharm.D. education (Maize, et al, 2010), as SI can help students adjust to the academic rigors of professional programs. The adaptation of SI to three Pharm.D. programs will be reviewed, including administrative support, leader selection, key components and outcomes.
