Teaching students to be good critical thinkers is something that we all aim to do, yet effective methods for teaching and fostering it can be elusive. As pharmacy education evolves and roles for pharmacists increasingly involve decision making, solid critical thinking skills will be essential for our graduates to succeed. We invite faculty and staff from all disciplines to join us in learning new practices for teaching these vital competencies. Whether you teach a large lecture course, small group skills labs, precept students in practice, or have curricular and assessment oversight, this program is for you. A variety of perspectives and types of teaching situations will be represented as we all seek to elevate our skills in producing critical thinkers able to tackle increasingly complex decisions and situations.
