“…EPAs are expected to be tasks that are observable, measurable, and require professional training for execution [ 26 ]. Various applications of EPAs have been proposed, yet they all converge to prepare graduates for professional practice [ 26 – 29 ] and to serve as a guide to document student performance and progression in the program [ 15 , 16 , 30 – 33 ].…”

“…This compares to efforts described in the literature about the design and evaluation of a program implemented to prepare clinical faculty members to use EPAs for teaching and assessment in experiential education [ 39 ]. Similarly, preceptors’ development programs were reported to be effective in establishing a standardized understanding of the level of entrustability and help ensure that preceptors consistently assign levels of engagement to EPA-based tasks performed by students during their experiential rotations [ 30 ]. Another challenge is the limited number of trained faculty in planning and delivering the OSCEs.…”

Background The integration of Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) within the professional pharmacy program, contributes to assessing the readiness of pharmacy students for Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPEs) and real-world practice. Methods In a study conducted at an Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE)-accredited Doctor of Pharmacy professional degree program, 69 students in their second professional year (P2) were engaged in OSCEs. These comprised 3 stations: best possible medication history, patient education, and healthcare provider communication. These stations were aligned with Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) and Ability Statements (AS). The assessment aimed to evaluate pharmacy students’ competencies in key areas such as ethical and legal behaviors, general communication skills, and interprofessional collaboration. Results The formulation of the OSCE stations highlighted the importance of aligning the learning objectives of the different stations with EPAs and AS. The evaluation of students’ ethical and legal behaviors, the interprofessional general communication, and collaboration showed average scores of 82.6%, 88.3%, 89.3%, respectively. Student performance on communication-related statements exceeded 80% in all 3 stations. A significant difference (p < 0.0001) was found between the scores of the observer and the SP evaluator in stations 1 and 2 while comparable results (p = 0.426) were shown between the observer and the HCP evaluator in station 3. Additionally, a discrepancy among the observers’ assessments was detected across the 3 stations. The study shed light on challenges encountered during OSCEs implementation, including faculty involvement, resource constraints, and the necessity for consistent evaluation criteria. Conclusions This study highlights the importance of refining OSCEs to align with EPAs and AS, ensuring a reliable assessment of pharmacy students’ clinical competencies and their preparedness for professional practice. It emphasizes the ongoing efforts needed to enhance the structure, content, and delivery of OSCEs in pharmacy education. The findings serve as a catalyst for addressing identified challenges and advancing the effectiveness of OSCEs in accurately evaluating students’ clinical readiness.

“…The literature on digitalization and TQM performance has shown that digital tools and technologies can significantly enhance quality management processes and outcomes. Digitalization refers to converting analogue information into digital form, which can be stored, manipulated, and transmitted electronically (Frenzel et al, 2021). From an environmental economics and management perspective, digitalization has the potential to reduce waste, increase efficiency, and promote sustainability (Rivard, 2004).…”

In today’s era of increasing environmental awareness, organizations need to consider the environmental economics and management perspective in addition to quality performance. Recent societal changes have led to a significant digital revolution that has made it challenging for industrialized nations to manage technology transfer. Organizations must integrate digitalization, technology, culture, and environmental sustainability to survive in this highly competitive climate. This study examines the relationship between digitalization and technology management and their impact on Total Quality Management (TQM) performance in Pakistani businesses, considering the environmental economics and management perspective. A quantitative approach was taken, and senior executives from the public and private sectors were surveyed to obtain information. The data was analyzed using SMART PLS 3, which utilized Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The study found that digitalization and technology management significantly enhanced TQM performance, with organizational agility mediating and organizational culture moderating. The organizational agility also played a crucial role in mediating the relationship between technology management and TQM performance. The findings of this study offer valuable insights for quality management practitioners and policymakers, highlighting the importance of incorporating environmental economics and management practices into an overall quality performance.
