The purpose of the Clinical Skills Competition (CSC)
is to facilitate clinical skill development for pharmacy students by
encouraging cooperation and teamwork. The CSC is designed to
facilitate an interactive, team-based analysis of clinical scenarios
for hospital/health-system pharmacists to help patients make the
best use of their medications.
There
will be a winning team for every class, P1s through P4s, with
each winning team receiving an award. The overall winning team at Texas Tech will then go on to
represent Texas Tech at the ASHP Mid-Year Meeting in December,
with their registration fees for ASHP MYM WAIVED!
We wish you the best of luck!
Each team is given a case summary, forms for
completing information, and access to references. Teams have 2
hours to create a pharmacist’s care plan for the patient using the
forms provided. Written submissions are evaluated on their
application of systematic problem-solving skills by the development
of a pharmaceutical care plan according to the criteria provided.
Judges representing clinical faculty from all the School of Pharmacy
campuses are provided a ‘peer-reviewed’ answer key to ensure objective
and fair evaluations.
Upon completion of the written portion, teams give
oral presentations justifying their care plan recommendations. A
total of 10 minutes is allowed for the case presentation. This
includes a maximum of 2 minutes for the presentation period and
another 8 minutes for questions and answers.
The 2 minute presentation should include:
-
Identification of students and their
college/school name
-
Presentation of a brief patient summary with a
list of all health problems that require immediate attention;
and
-
Presentation of recommendations for
goals/treatment/monitoring of the most urgent problem only.
For example,
“Hi, I’m Michael Smith and this is my teammate Sarah
Stewart. We are students at The Texas Tech University Health
Sciences Center School of Pharmacy.
Our patient SJ is a 62 year-old male admitted with a CVA,
hypertension, and probable bacterial pneumonia, all of which require
immediate attention. The CVA is his most urgent problem. After
ruling out a hemorrhagic stroke with a CT scan/MRI, our therapeutic
goals are to stop progression of intracranial thrombosis, prevent
further neurologic deficits, and minimize complications of therapy.
We chose to begin intravenous alteplase (provide 2 dose, route, and
duration of therapy; identify monitoring parameters and therapeutic
endpoints) . . .”
Case presentations are evaluated on the thoroughness
of the recommendations, accuracy of the presented material, and
overall communication skills. A winning team is declared based on
the combined score of the written submissions and the oral
presentation.
