Learning unit 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 learning unit
During these seminars, you will have to take into account the complexity of the pharmaceutical action, as well as its multidisciplinary aspects.
The self-learning process will help you become more autonomous in analyzing the problems you will encounter during your professional career.
The confrontation of your ideas with those of your peers and the meeting of experts on the ground will allow you to introduce you to the collaboration and will aim at facilitating your integration in the officinal landscape.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Student needs to have begun his training course in community pharmacy.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Attendance at all sessions (about 5 days / year) is required. The agenda is transmitted during the welcome session at the beginning of the semester.
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.
E-learning complements the face-to-face seminars.
Recommended or required readings
Assessment methods and criteria
You will be evaluated through an "Objective and Structured Clinical Evaluation" (OSCE) including simulated patients played by qualified pharmacists, volunteers and most often outside the University.
The OSCE is organized in the form of a circuit comprising stations of written or interactive exams (+ rest). You have 7 minutes to complete the requested task at each station. The duration of the circuit is less than 2h / student.
The precise instructions (schedule, sequence number, etc.) relating to this examination will be posted on the online course, ten days before the exam. Nevertheless, the instructions of the previous year are at your disposal and remain valid for the principle of the examination.
An oral communication about the modalities of this exam will also take place during the opening session at the beginning of semester.
In interactive stations, the evaluation is carried out by the pharmacist-evaluators using a criteriated grid provided by the teaching team. The evaluation of the written stations is carried out by the teaching team. The coordinator reserves the right to cancel a station in case of concern.
OSCE is organized once a year, during the June session. It is not materially possible to reproduce the same examination conditions in the second session because of the number of people requested as simulated patients and the extremely heavy logistics of this evaluation. Therefore, there is no examination scheduled in the second session. In case of second session, the note of June is automatically postponed for September.
In view of the extremely heavy constraints of this examination, the coordinator reserves, in case of force majeure, the right to modify the evaluation, whether for the whole class or a given student. The jury and the students would be notified as soon as possible.
