4 Outline the rationale, advantages and disadvantages of simulation use in pharmacy education Identify competencies of pharmacists that are ideally taught by means of simulation 1. A safe, realistic learning environment is one of the advantages of high fidelity human patient simulation? 2. Have all of the following are competencies been proven to be successfully taught and assessed with the high fidelity human patient simulation environment? A. Communication B. Medication dispensing, distribution, and administration C. Patient assessment D. Patient safety E. Pharmacotherapy 3. Is cost one of the disadvantages of high fidelity human patient simulation? 4

Simul Healthc Jun;7(3): Methods 4-week time period, IP teams consisting of pharmacy, medical, nursing, social work, and physician assistant students Results Communication and Teamwork Skills (CATS) Assessment scores improved from the HFS sessions 1 to 2 (p = 0.01), 2 to 3 (p = 0.035), and overall from 1 to 4 (p = 0.001). Students perceived the HFS improved: Their ability to communicate with other professionals Confidence in patient care in an IP team Stimulated student interest in IP work Efficient use of student time Conclusion HFS improved student teamwork and communication Pharm Pract Apr;11(2):61-5.
