Objectives: At Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), pharmacists provide comprehensive patient care and are an integral part of the healthcare team. The Continuous Professional Development Office at HMC, in collaboration with Purdue University, implemented a drug information certificate program for pharmacists. This is a description of the needs assessment pre-course and evaluating pharmacists’ perception of the certificate program.
Methods: The needs assessment survey was designed based on the best practice for pharmacists’ proficiency in providing drug information. The program consisted of four modules extended over 8 weeks. The course was a blend of self-study, live presentations and practice based activities. The course was attended by 138 participants in three cohorts. The post completion survey consisted of six questions evaluating the effectiveness of the program and faculty member.
Results: Needs assessment results demonstrated proficiency in understanding different types of study design. However, more than 30% reported that they require improvement in interpreting statistical and clinical significance and writing drug monograph. The post completion survey was completed by 64 respondents (46% response rate). More than ninety percent of respondents reported that all learning objectives were covered in an ‘outstanding’ manner. More than 85% reported that the faculty member was exemplary, had a vast knowledge of the subject and was helpful in expanding key concepts. The most popular learning format was the live online videos.
Conclusion: This is the first known assessment of drug information proficiency of hospital pharmacists across Hamad Medical Corporation. In collaboration with Purdue University, the CPPD office implemented a comprehensive drug information certificate program to enhance the proficiency of pharmacists which showed extraordinary results.
