Finding the Fit: Using A Rubric Tool to Determine Student Readiness for Course Remediation
Per ACPE Standards, colleges/schools of pharmacy should have “criteria, policies, and procedures” regarding student remediation; however, specifics for these processes are not provided. With diverse student cohorts, identifying and evaluating those who most benefit from remediation opportunities can be a difficult challenge. We describe a new process including a detailed rubric to address dimensions of student readiness, aid in eligibility decisions and encourage student self-reflection. Audience input and feedback/reaction to the tool will be solicited.

Low-tech, High-impact Strategies for Engaging Faculty in Course-level Mapping and Data Utilization
Assessment; Curricular Design/Teaching Strategies
How do you generate mapping data and analytic strategies to provide insightful course design decisions using “low-tech” tools? Our session will introduce participants to our automated Excel dashboard which provides individualized teaching and exam comparison reports for each course and showcase processes for course improvement accountability. Participants will identify their own unique contexts (capacity, needs, tools) and conceptualize strategies for generating and using mapping data for “high-impact” improvements.
At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Explain the context (tools, resources, needs) for course and exam design analytics.
- Choose the best design use case for visualizing and/or disseminating course-level mapping data that fits a given context.

Track-based Rotations and Career Interest Survey to Optimize Student Placement in Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences
Experiential Education
Optimizing Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE) preceptor and site satisfaction while focusing on student career interests in the final clinical year is a balancing act. Experiential education faculty will highlight how they turned the sudden loss of APPE sites at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic into an opportunity to maximize student placements at clinical sites while integrating students’ preferences through a career interest survey. Best practices, challenges, and future steps will be shared.
