OBJECTIVE: We developed and used a Basic Research Skill Special Study Module to introduce pharmacovigilance to medical students in the early years of their programme. METHODS: Students completing year one or two of the Faculty of Medical Sciences, Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery programme at The University of the West Indies, Jamaica participated in the four week experience from May 16th to June 12th 2019 to complete structured content sessions and self-directed activity. Sessions focused on the importance of pharmacovigilance and guided steps to complete a secondary data research project on an adverse reaction reported for a drug of personal interest. The final output was a poster mini-symposium at which each student held a five minute oral presentation. Posters were assessed for compliance with content guidelines, quality and presentation. RESULTS: Ten students participated in this experience and nine students produced posters of greater than 80% compliance with the content guidelines that were provided. The points awarded also reflected high scores for the required elements, relevant graphics, attractiveness/neatness and oral presentation. Students expressed overall satisfaction with the learning experience of the module. CONCLUSION: Moving forward, the authors will continue using this innovative active learning methodology to increase student exposure to pharmacovigilance, conducting and sharing research. Quantitative outcome assessment tools will be developed and long term goals will focus on its utility in curriculum improvement. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
