Would you like to know how much time is spent in the classroom on what students are doing and what faculty for different instructional approaches? Dr. Lindsay Doukopoulos, Associate Director for Educational Development at the Biggio Center, will offer a session on COPUS (Classroom Observation Protocol for Undergraduate STEM). We know that teaching practices influence student learning. COPUS was originally created for undergraduate teaching, however this protocol has much to offer for teaching in professional and graduate programs.

10-minute Lightning Round
Research shows that many college students feel excluded in their classes, which puts them at risk for dropping out, anxiety and depression, and poor academic performance (Faulkner, Watson, Pollino, & Shetterly, 2021). But when college students report feeling like they belong at their college or university, they are more likely to trust their instructors, form close bonds with peers, and graduate on time. This session will present evidence-based strategies for inclusivity in the classroom.
Presenter: Dr. Lisa Moyer
10-minute Lightning Round
To prepare health professional students for practice, faculty from nursing and pharmacy integrated the Friday Night in the ER activity to teach students about utilizing a systems thinking approach. We evaluated student experiences using the Systems Thinking Scale. Statistically significant improvements in combined nursing and pharmacy students’ knowledge of systems thinking for all items and the total score (t=-10.16, p less than .001) were noted, indicating this was a meaningful learning experience.
Presenters: Dr. Sara Watts, Dr. Jeanna Sewell, Dr. Rachel Young, Ms. Erin Thornton, and Mr. Clay Young
10-minute Lightning Round
This program will describe the development and results of a didactic-experiential model for teaching students about opioid use disorder and naloxone counseling for patients and family members. The model’s three phases will be presented: 1) lecture-based education (naloxone pharmacology and opioid use disorder); 2) skills lab (naloxone administration and counseling training); and 3) Community Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (real-world naloxone recommendations and counseling).
Presenters: Dr. Lena McDowell, Dr. Lindsey Hohmann, and Dr. Rebecca Maxson
10-minute Lightning Round
While medical/technical writing has a particular style which is not verbose, it is still important that Pharm D students have opportunities to demonstrate proper writing skills for professional communications. Learn how the HCOP CoCurriculum affords opportunities for students to express their thoughts, often in reflective assignments and to do so using proper writing conventions. Hear about the pros and cons of adding reflective assignments and collaborative resources to consider.
Presenter: Dr. April Staton
10-minute Lightning Round
Quito, Ecuador study abroad is an international service-learning opportunity for students from health professions. The goal is for students to attend class and the service-learning trip together. Onsite medical clinic focuses on serving women and children, coordinated by a faith-based agency. Students met weekly for seven weeks before the one-week service-learning experience. Team members included nursing students, a pharmacy student, nurse practitioners and pharmacists.
Presenters: Dr. Ann Lambert, Dr. Amy Pridemore, and Pedro Lucas
10-minute Lightning Round
This case study explored transformational leadership qualities and behaviors that are relevant for achieving organizational change related to curricular reform. Results from this study provided specific qualities and behaviors of curricular leaders that others can emulate, or that programs can use for leadership development. Additionally, results confirmed that leaders do not need to be at the top of an organization nor have formal authority to be effective in leading innovative change.
Presenter: Lindsey Moseley

15-minute SoTL Research Presentation
This study aimed to identify qualitative aspects of small animal veterinary internship applications that are associated with relative intern performance, as determined by a score given at the end of the intern year. The hypothesis is that there will be consistent themes within applications associated with top-performance scores and themes associated with bottom-performance scores determined by faculty and residents who scored them.
Presenter: Erik Hofmeister
10-minute Lightning Round
Visiting patients in their homes provides a holistic view into social determinants of health for medical professional students. Many of these patients have complex medication regimens, and pharmacy students review charts of patients scheduled for home visits. After faculty review, they “huddle” with resident physicians and social work students to provide medication recommendations, discuss social and environmental issues related to medical needs, and develop a plan for home visits.
Presenter: Dr. Miranda Andrus
10-minute Lightning Round
The College of Nursing collaborated with the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences to develop simulation-enhanced IPE experiences for undergraduate nursing and graduate speech-language pathology students. Faculty identified the need to build upon didactic learning to prepare students to understand each discipline’s role in the medical field to improve patient outcomes and safety. Each simulation is designed to address discipline-specific student learning outcomes and teamwork.
Presenters: Dr. Laura Willis, Dr. Tiffani Chidume, Dr. Juanita Lloyd, and Dr. Lydia Allison
10-minute Lightning Round
The Diversity in Healthcare Seminar brought in panelists from diverse backgrounds to discuss their experience with the healthcare system with an interprofessional group of students. Students were assessed before and after the seminar to determine any changes in their knowledge and attitudes related to cultural competence. Students increased in knowledge and attitude ratings in all areas assessed.
Presenters: Dr. Jeanna Sewell, Ms. Jennifer Slay, Dr. Felicia Tuggle, and Dr. Sarah Watts
