Course contents :  
Complex problem solving learning (ARPc as French abbreviation) is a particular modality of problem-based learning (PBL). ARPc seminars are organised during semester 10, period during which students are attending their training course in community pharmacy. Students are divided into small collaborative groups of 8-10 persons and accompanied by a coach (or facilitator). Seminars are composed of up and down sessions. During the up session, beginning by a role playing game, students analyse a complex patient case, including ethical, socio-environmental, economical, legal and psychological difficulties. Before the down session, students have the possibility to meet and ask questions to different experts (medical specialists, nurse, psychologist, etc.). Finally, during the down session, students have to solve the problem, i.e. elaborate a strategy for optimal patient care.
Learning outcomes of the course :  
By definition, PBL consists in the analysis of a problem by small groups of students under the supervision of a facilitator. It can be defined as a self-learning process by which the student has to gain a greater autonomy for analysing problems that he will encounter during his professional carrier. With ARPc seminars, student will have to take into account the complexity of pharmaceutical practice, as well as its multidisciplinary context.
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
Student needs to have attended a previous PBL course (such as CAVS0340-2 in semester 8) and to have begun his training course in community pharmacy.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
Attendance at all sessions (3-5 days / year) is required.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
Different seminars (in face-to-face) are organised each year on various subjects (such as diabetes, COPD...). Each seminar lasts half a day. Practical details will be given during an information session at the beginning of the semester.
In parallel with ARPc strictly speaking, are also organized discussion sessions on matters relevant to professional practice. Didactic pharmacy (role-playing) is also used within this framework.
E-learning complements the face-to-face seminars.
Recommended or required readings :  
Assessment methods and criteria :  
Student will be evaluated through a final "objective structured clinical examination" (OSCE) including simulated patients. The OSCE will be organized once a year, during the June session. No test in September.
