• Faculty advising is:• Required of all faculty and students

• Students required to meet every semester with assigned faculty advisor

• Completion of advising activity is tied to Social and Administrative Sciences courses (P1 through P3) and is listed in our Professionalism Curriculum (p.10 and 13)

• Tracked in E*Value (health education data management platform)

Analysis of how the FAAA’s Performing

• Utilized reliability analysis (Cronbach’s alpha) to look at reliability of questions’ performance each Winter semester (2017, 2018, 2019)

• Performed descriptive statistic analysis of Class of 2020 as P1s, P2s and P3s to look at trends

• Performed repeated measures ANOVA to determine if difference existed in overall FAAA score in cohort utilizing matched P1 and P3 data

• Performed repeated measures ANOVA to determine if difference existed within each of the 5 questions within instrument in cohort utilizing matched P1 and P3 data

Individual Student’s Benefits Seen Due to New Advising Process• Increased awareness of educational links within the curriculum

• Increased encouragement of student organizational involvement

• Increased awareness of elective offerings and relationships with faculty

• Earlier identification of students at risk

• Referral of students to personal counseling

Page 23: Across the Curricular Divide: Three Assessment Approaches ... · Co-Curriculum Advising Advocacy Research Scholars Entry into modules Prof. organiza-tions Consider leadership Elective

Lessons Learned: Challenges Pharm.D. program has faced with process• Initial student and faculty enthusiasm for changes in advising

processes

• Increased need for both faculty and student education• All levels of students

• 2 departments of faculty

• Administrators and program support

• Systems management (E*Value)• Time to set-up evaluations

• Time to send reminders

Discussion

• PDN-PEP is outlined to all stakeholders each year which has led to increased engagement from all stakeholders over time– Students have adopted a culture of professionalism with an

emphasis on their own development

– Faculty have embraced promoting and advancing professional attitudes and behaviors

– More responsive alumni have been incorporated

• Guidance documents undergo continuous revision to improve communication and enhance expectations of all stakeholders

Page 34: Across the Curricular Divide: Three Assessment Approaches ... · Co-Curriculum Advising Advocacy Research Scholars Entry into modules Prof. organiza-tions Consider leadership Elective

Discussion

• PDN-PEP Tracking Form

– Has generally remained stable over time

• New experiences have been added as needs arose (i.e., licensure

preparedness program)

• New specific elective opportunities

• Allows for tracking of student involvement by faculty and administration

– Awareness of need to devote resources to support professional endeavors of

students

• Valuable feedback via surveys from stakeholders

– Changes have been implemented in response to feedback

– Other changes include:

• Resources available to alumni and faculty members through LMS PDN

course page

• Professionalism Committee reviews feedback and provides support for

program

Page 35: Across the Curricular Divide: Three Assessment Approaches ... · Co-Curriculum Advising Advocacy Research Scholars Entry into modules Prof. organiza-tions Consider leadership Elective

Lessons Learned

• Enhanced communication with stakeholders leads to

increased engagement

• New professional experiences added

• Distribution of an Excel summary sheet to faculty for

tracking form evaluation

• Faculty training program and annual “refresher” meeting

• Development of faculty resources to support advising and

group meetings

• Promotion of expanded alumni involvement

• More resources for alumni members

Lessons Learned and Conclusions

Consistent performance domains from IPPEs → APPEs

reinforce content, expectations, and promote growth

» Professionalism & Communication domains need equal weight in

assessment to reinforce importance

Experiential must be reinforced in Didactic

» Formative and summative assessments increased to provide additional

development opportunities (OSCEs, Case studies, Written and verbal

exams)
