Objectives: To assess the impact of remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic on pharmacy student performance on formative and summative assessments in the Pharmacotherapeutics IV (PTX4) course.
Methods: In mid-March 2020, PTX4 was transitioned to online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to this, students were administered live, proctored exams in the course via ExamSoft. During the Spring 2021 semester, PTX4 was fully delivered through remote instruction. Exams continued to be delivered via ExamSoft except without a live proctor during remote instruction. Otherwise, content covered and assessment structure remained the same across all three years. Student performance on course assessments, including exams, verbal defenses, SOAP notes, and in-class cases, was compared between 2019, 2020, and 2021.
Results: There were 98 students enrolled in PTX4 in 2019, 92 in 2020, and 100 in 2021. The overall exam average (79.5 vs 82.7 vs 86.7, p< 0.0001) and averages on each of the four exams (p< 0.0001 for all) were both statistically significantly different between the years and higher in 2020 and 2021. Verbal defense grades were significantly higher in 2020 compared to 2021 (84.3 vs 79.7, p=0.01). Performance on SOAP notes was also statistically significantly different between cohorts but without a clear trend (79.8 vs 83.7 vs 76.6, p< 0.0001). Students performed better on in-class cases in 2020 and 2021 (79.3 vs 86.2 vs 85.4, p< 0.0001). The course grade also was higher in 2020 and 2021 compared to 2019 (83.2 vs 85.8 vs 85.6, p< 0.0001).
Conclusion: Study results suggest student performance was not negatively impacted by remote learning as overall course grades and a majority of the assessment grades were higher in 2020 and 2021 in PTX4.
