Abstract

In recent years we have implemented an adapted Team Based Learning (TBL)1 methodology to develop confidence in clinical decision making in pre-registration hospital pharmacists. Our approach involves the completion of a clinical decision making test both individually (using a confidence marking answer format) and as a group (using IF-AT scratchcards for scoring and instant item level feedback). We also provide a group decision making exercise that is completed in the trainees’ hospital trusts to introduce a greater degree of authenticity to the learning. We propose to discuss the initial findings from our evaluations which showed a high degree of satisfaction with the process. Furthermore, we will discuss an observed shift in the self-assessment profile of our learners away from a conventional Dunning-Kruger2 trend towards much less overconfidence in grade predictions relative to test performance. Additionally, we will discuss our innovative adaptation of this approach for online delivery. Using the Intedashboard© software we were able to facilitate the individual and group test elements of the class. Once again we saw a high degree of satisfaction with the process. However, we did not observe the same shift in self-assessment patterns with online delivery as we had previously. In-fact we retained a conventional Dunning-Kruger profile which we have provisionally attributed to the loss of “in person peer instruction” which diminishes the internal feedback3 learners would usually generate through interactions with their fellow learners.
