Abstract

WEB-BASED OSCE: REDESIGNING THE CURRICULUM OF UNDERGRADUATE PHARMACY PROGRAMME IN THE ERA OF COVID-19

Strand: Curriculum

COVID-19 pandemic has led to substantial changes in pharmacy curricula, including face-to-face Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). This study aimed to redesign hospital and clinical pharmacy modules using MyDispense® to teach clinical and dispensing skill in the undergraduate pharmacy programme. The revised curriculum using virtual technology was implemented, and the feedback and outcomes were assessed. Faculty members comprising of pharmacy lecturers built the infrastructure, received training on the latest version of MyDispense programme, developed learning units, and pilot tested the learning units. Students had mixed opinions regarding their experience of using MyDispense for web-based OSCE. Of note, majority of them agreed that they learned from this method of OSCE more than what they could have from the actual face-to-face OSCE. There is a need to evaluate whether modified methods of OSCE compromise the pharmacy education standards.
