Study Participants

Objectives: To explore pharmacy students’ attitudes, satisfaction, and feedback regarding the introduction of a new project-based learning (PrBL) module in a Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm.) curriculum in a Malaysian public university. Method: A pre-tested, validated 33-item web-based questionnaire was administered to third-year undergraduate pharmacy students in a Malaysian school of pharmacy (n=102). The grading and assessment tools consisted of a group-based research proposal, final project presentation, and final project report. Descriptive and inferential data analyses were performed using SPSS version 22. A p-value ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: There was good receptiveness, positive attitude, and satisfaction towards the PrBL module among the study participants. The vast majority of the students (94.1%) believed that the module helped them in learning a topic that they did not know previously and found that it was fun and entertaining to work with friends. Many of students revealed that the PrBL increased their desire to learn and improve their communication skills (76.9%). Also, they agreed that the PrBL module was suitable to prepare them for future practice and problem solving (72.5%). About half of the students (48.0%) expressed their desire for future courses to adopt a PrBL approach. Overall, the majority of students indicated that they were satisfied with the performance of their supervisors (79.4%) and their supervisors made the aims and objectives of the module clear from the outset (65.7%). Conclusion: A new PrBL module was received with good levels of satisfaction, and it is feasible to introduce such modules in other pharmacy programmes in Malaysia. Good PrBL design, a proper educational environment, and well- trained supervisors assisted in the implementation of the module. Feedback from students and preceptors is essential in module enhancement to accommodate their evolving demands and expectations.

Abstract Objectives: To investigate and compare the views of undergraduate pharmacy students in two Malaysian pharmacy schools (one private and one public) regarding the organization, quality, and objectivity of OSCE. Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken among penultimate and final year students in two Malaysian pharmacy schools between October and December 2019. A questionnaire was developed, tested, and validated and then distributed to study participants through online Google forms. Results: A total of 221 undergraduate pharmacy students participated in the study. Regarding the adequacy of the time allocated per OSCE station, students of the public university expressed a relatively higher level of disagreement (IIUM 63.9% & 48.7% vs. UoC 11.6% & 14.3%). Relatively few students agreed that OSCE is a less stressful type of assessment compared to other traditional methods (IIUM 7.2% & 10.3% vs. UoC 39.5% & 23.8%). Regarding the OSCE scores as valid indicators of student’s skills, private university students had more agreement than their counterparts in a public university (UoC 79% & 64.3% vs. IIUM 39.2% 30.8%). In addition, both student groups disagreed that OSCE marks were likely to be affected by the student’s gender (IIUM 73.2% & 66.7% vs. UoC 67.4% & 78.6%). Conclusion: Overall, most of the participants had overall good views regarding the organization, quality, and objectivity of OSCE, with several differences between students in public and private universities. There are few areas to be further considered to ensure more positive students’ OSCE experience such as revision on the time allocation for every station and on the provision of timely constructive feedback.

Underlying Disease Process

The purpose of this article is to present a general overview of the features of drug-induced movement disorders (DIMDs) comprised by Parkinsonism and extrapyramidal symptoms. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who work with patients presenting with these issues must have a broad understanding of the underlying disease process. This article will provide a brief introduction to the neuropathophysiology of DIMDs, a discussion of the associated symptomatology, the pharmacology implicated in causing DIMDs, and the medical management approaches currently in use.
