Abstract:This article describes an ongoing project to build an evaluation framework for a competency‐based graduate program at The University of Southern Mississippi. Many traditional methods of evaluating performance at academic institutions provide only a partial assessment of individual program performance. In an increasingly competitive global economy, program evaluations should also consider the perspectives of students, graduates, and employers in order to develop curricula that will address the critical skills s… Show more

Objective. To implement and evaluate an introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE) based on the medication therapy management (MTM) service model. Design. Patient Care 2 is an IPPE that introduces third-year pharmacy students to the MTM service model. Students interacted with older adults to identify medication-related problems and develop recommendations using core MTM elements. Course outcome evaluations were based on number of documented medication-related problems, recommendations, and student reviews. Assessment. Fifty-seven older adults participated in the course. Students identified 52 medicationrelated problems and 66 medical problems, and documented 233 recommendations relating to health maintenance and wellness, pharmacotherapy, referrals, and education. Students reported having adequate experience performing core MTM elements. Conclusion. Patient Care 2 may serve as an experiential learning model for pharmacy schools to teach the core elements of MTM and provide patient care services to the community.

“…Gaudet, Annulis, and Kmiec (2008) provide a case of competency-based individual development planning (IDP) process. According to this study, which was conducted in a university , the IDP process provides individuals with practical tools focused on needed workplace knowledge, skills, and abilities.…”
Section: Application Of a Competency Modelmentioning
“…Competency-based education aims to move away from traditional learning assessment approaches—such as counting hours spent learning—to capturing the “knowledge, skills, and attitudes [or abilities] required for an acceptable level of practice” [ 11 ]. This approach opens up opportunities to focus on job performance, as well as allowing for the definition of levels of skill for assessment of progress [ 12 , 13 ]. Competency-based training has gained popularity in recent decades across many disciplines, including education, medicine, public health, and global health [ 13 – 15 ].…”
Background As the field of global health expands, the recognition of structured training for field-based public health professionals has grown. Substantial effort has gone towards defining competency domains for public health professionals working globally. However, there is limited literature on how to implement competency-based training into learning curricula and evaluation strategies. Objectives This scoping review seeks to collate the current status, degree of consensus, and best practices, as well as gaps and areas of divergence, related to the implementation of competencies in global health curricula. Specifically, we sought to examine (i) the target audience, (ii) the levels or milestones, and (iii) the pedagogy and assessment approaches. Sources of evidence A review of the published and grey literature was completed to identify published and grey literature sources that presented information on how to implement or support global health and public health competency-based education programs. In particular, we sought to capture any attempts to assign levels or milestones, any evaluation strategies, and the different pedagogical approaches. Results Out of 68 documents reviewed, 21 documents were included which contained data related to the implementation of competency-based training programs; of these, 18 were peerreviewed and three were from the grey literature. Most of the sources focused on postgraduate public health students, professional trainees pursuing continuing education training,
