HSOP Clinical Skills Winners for 2005
n October 4th, the 7th Annual Clinical Skills competition at AUHSOP was held. This event, sponsored by the student chapter of Alabama (and American) Society of Health-System Pharmacists (AlSHP/ASHP), is both a local and national competition for student pharmacists.
This year seven teams participated in our local competition (2 P4 teams, 1 P3 team, and 1 P2 team). They all did a fantastic job and the judges were impressed with each team's performance. However, there could only be one winner. Congratulations to the winning team for the 2005 AUHSOP Clinical Skills Competition, P4 students, Christian Sanders and Lynsey Neighbors. We wish Christian and Lynsey the best of luck as they represent Auburn at the national competition at the upcoming ASHP Midyear meeting in Las Vegas!
How it works
Students work in self‑selected pairs and are given a case study which reflects actual scenarios that pharmacists may encounter in any patient care setting. The team has 2 hours to identify acute & chronic medical problems, construct a drug therapy problem list, and develop a pharmacist's care plan (references are available). Each team must also justify their care plan in a 10 minute oral presentation (5 minutes for presentation, 5 minutes for questions).
Teams are evaluated on the accuracy, relevance, and completeness of their written information, as well as the oral defense of their care plan. Winning teams from each school will proceed to the national competition at the ASHP Midyear Meeting in December.
Congratulations also to the 2nd place winning team: Sara Fletcher and Nicole Coker and the 3rd place winning team: Min Hui Loi-Braden and Jalynn Gray.
