Celebrate Learning Week 2013

Educating the Pharmacist for Today and Tomorrow Speaker: Dr. Nancy Winslade, BScPhm, PharmD, MHPE Assistant Professor, Clinical and Health Informatics Research, Department of Medicine, McGill University and President, Winslade Consultants Inc. As sweeping changes to the pharmacist’s scope of practice continue across Canada, Faculties of Pharmacy face the challenge of creating a curriculum that incorporates all of current practice, recently introduced practice change and anticipated future practice. Patient care remains the role common to these practice models and, therefore, was the focus of the AFPC Educational Outcomes for Pharmacy graduates introduced in 2010. Dr. Winslade’s seminar will discuss how the educational outcomes address challenges in pharmacy practice. She will present data from her research that evaluates both opportunities for community pharmacists to provide patient care and the key factors that influence the quality of patient care provided by community pharmacists. As an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto Faculty of Pharmacy in the late 1980s, Dr. Winslade led the development, evaluation and teaching of the pharmaceutical care pharmacy practice model. She revised the undergraduate pharmacy therapeutics program and developed and implemented University of Toronto’s post-baccalaureate PharmD program to incorporate this model of practice. In 1991, her trialing of pharmaceutical care in Family Medicine at Sunnybrook Medical Centre expanded to her offering a pharmacist-run medication assessment service at the affiliated community health centre. While residing in Europe from 1994-2003, Dr. Winslade completed her Masters in Health Professions Education at the University of Maastricht and consulted in health policy and performance assessment of health care professionals. Upon her return to Canada, she joined the Medical Office of the 21st Century research project at McGill University’s Faculty of Medicine. At McGill, Dr. Winslade evaluates the use of administrative databases in order to assess the quality of care and professional services provided by community pharmacists and to determine system-based factors that influence the provision of these services. Dr. Winslade has also actively continued her consulting work with national organizations including the development of the Model Pharmacist’s Standards of Practice for the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities and the Educational Outcomes for Pharmacy Graduates for the Association of Faculties of Pharmacy of Canada.

Social Responsibility and Professionalism - Can it Truly be Taught? Speaker: Dr. Gurdeep Parhar, MD Associate Dean, Equity and Professionalism, UBC Faculty of Medicine and Acting Associate Vice President, UBC Equity and Inclusion. Across North America, health professional education programs are renewing their curricula to better meet the needs of the communities they serve. While notions of empathy, social responsibility and professionalism are at the forefront of goals set by educational innovators, there remains a constant challenge addressing the needs of the next generation of health professionals. Millennial learners, in addition to demanding flexible learning options and the latest technological advancements, often have quite different ideas as to what is appropriate professional behaviour, what constitutes patient centred care and how best to meet the needs of the population. Pharmacy training needs to explore which pedagogical strategies would best enable the teaching of all of these important humanistic qualities for future graduates. Objectives: 1) To understand the various components of social responsibility and accountability that should be considered for health professional education in British Columbia. 2) To review how teaching professionalism is challenged by social media, the narrowing divide between public/private, emphasis on work-life balance and the evolving social contract. 3) To explore strategies on how to ensure that empathy, social responsibility and professionalism are incorporated into the curriculum of health professional training. Dr. Gurdeep Parhar is the Associate Dean, Equity and Professionalism, for UBC’s Faculty of Medicine and the ActingAssociate Vice President Equity and Inclusion for the University of British Columbia. Previously, he served as Co-Acting Head and Associate Head of the Department of Family Practice. Dr. Parhar is the national Co-Chair for the Group on Professionalism for the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada (AFMC). Dr. Parhar’s clinical practice focuses on immigrants, refugees, workers’ health and patients with severe disabilities. His teaching
