A quantitative professionalism policy in a community pharmacy introductory pharmacy practice experience
Abstract
Objective: To determine whether implementing a quantitative professionalism policy would lead to improved behaviors in an introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE) and to evaluate students' attitudes about professionalism expectations in the IPPE.
Design: A policy using quantitative parameters for assessing unprofessional behaviors was developed and implemented in the community pharmacy IPPE after discrepancies were identified in the way professional expectations were assessed.
Assessment: The quantitative professionalism policy reduced the number of assignments submitted post deadline (p<0.05). There was no change in students' attitudes towards professional behaviors after the implementation of the policy.
Conclusion: The quantitative professionalism policy was effective in changing some of the students' professional behaviors in an IPPE.
Keywords: community pharmacy; experiential; practice experience; professionalism; quantitative assessment.
