Abstract

Objective. To examine the impact of implementation of the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education9s (ACPE9s) Standards 2007 on pharmacy students’ preparation for their first advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE). Design. The doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) curriculum was altered to include introductory pharmacy practice experiences (IPPE), second-year therapeutics, classroom integration of practice experiences, more biomedical sciences, an electronic portfolio system, life-long learning exercises, and additional content based on Appendix B of Standards 2007. Curricular outcomes and the assessment plan also were revised based on Standards 2007. Assessment. To evaluate the impact of these changes to the curriculum, faculty members rated 9 behaviors of students observed during the third week of their first APPE and compared their scores with those of students who were evaluated in 2004 before the curriculum had been revised. Students completing the revised curriculum performed all 9 behaviors more often and had a better average score than students evaluated in 2004. Conclusion. Curricular revisions implemented to address ACPE Standards 2007 were associated with positive clinical behaviors in students beginning their experiential education.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In men with chronic heart failure, exercise capacity increases after 12 weeks of testosterone treatment, while cardiac index increases after 180 min.

    “Exercise capacity in men with chronic heart failure increased after 12 weeks (60), whereas the cardiac index (cardiac output related to body surface) had already increased after 180 min.”
  • There is some evidence that testosterone replacement is beneficial and improves functional status in men with chronic heart failure.

    “there is some evidence that testosterone replacement is beneficial and improves functional status in men with CHF [5,6].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
