“…Students’ self-efficacy in OTC counselling will be assessed using a validated 14-item scale (online supplemental appendix 1). 7 32 33 Students will be asked to indicate their level of confidence in each step of the OTC counselling assessment needed for patient evaluation and information delivery. Each item is measured on a 5-point Likert-type scale (1=not confident at all, 5=highly confident); items are summed up with a total self-efficacy score ranging from 14 to 70, and a higher score reflects greater confidence in addressing key steps of medication counselling.…”

IntroductionAddressing communication skills in pharmacy curricula is one of the effective tactics to equip future pharmacists with better skillsets for medication counselling. To achieve this, blended teaching of PowerPoint slides and videos holds great potential for undergraduate pharmacy education majors by integrating multimedia and performance feedback into instruction. This study will develop a blended teaching programme featuring didactic lectures with video-based materials to improve students’ self-efficacy and skills in medication counselling.Methods and analysisThis study applies critical principles and effects outlined in multimedia learning by Richard Mayeret alto develop teaching materials and perform skill evaluation for two undergraduate cohorts (class of 2025 and 2026) enrolled in Introduction to Community Pharmacy separately in 2022 and 2023. Students will receive different teaching approaches to medication counselling. In the control cohort (ie, class of 2025), students will receive a 4-week PowerPoint slides-based instruction in communication skills. We will develop six videos illustrating common scenarios of over-the-counter (OTC) medication counselling in community pharmacies. In the intervention cohort (ie, class of 2026), students will receive a 3-week PowerPoint slides-based instruction and a week-long video-based instruction in communication skills. A pre-and-post survey will be administered to evaluate students’ self-efficacy in OTC counselling. In addition, each student will be evaluated through one-on-one role-playing with standardised patients in the final to demonstrate their skills in OTC counselling. A structured checklist will be used to assess students’ counselling skills. T-tests will be applied to examine differences in self-efficacy of OTC counselling. Multivariate regression analyses will determine which teaching approach better facilitates the development of self-efficacy and performance in OTC counselling.Ethics and disseminationThe Research Ethics Committee of the National Taiwan University Hospital approved this study. The findings will be shared with pharmacy educators and contribute to existing instructional methods to facilitate the competence of pharmacy students in OTC counselling.

Curriculum evaluation in university education is crucial to improve the quality of professional education. This paper proposes a rubric to evaluate the university curriculum in order to obtain accurate information on its current state and to guide its restructuring according to the needs of updating and institutional demands. Emphasis is placed on the adoption of an objective methodological approach as opposed to subjective criteria. The methodology used, called "discrepancy analysis", is based on a theoretical model of an ideal curriculum with 10 components, each with a weighted value according to its importance. The evaluation of the curriculum is based on how close or far it is from this ideal model, reflecting its effectiveness and quality. The professional profile stands out as a fundamental source in the development of the curriculum, and must be relevant, comprehensive and consistent with the educational concept adopted by the institution. A rubric is presented to evaluate the professional profile in terms of coherence, relevance, completeness, clarity and structure. The constituent elements of the curriculum, such as the situational diagnosis, the doctrinal framework, the institutional decisions and the scope of work performance, are evaluated to ensure their alignment with the professional training objectives and the needs of the labor market. The organizational structure of the curriculum, the generation of curricular units, the design of the syllabus, the writing of summaries and the recommendations for the development of syllabi are crucial aspects that are evaluated to ensure the coherence and effectiveness of the university curriculum.
