The learning outcomes will be applied to students taking a course on Introductory pharmacology.
Learning Outcome #1: Each student will construct a drug plan they would recommend to the health care team to treat someone suffering from severe sepsis. Each student must:
- Include at least 3 drugs categories they would recommend.
- Identify a possible drug from each drug category they recommend
- Rationalize why they have recommended these drug categories
- Relate the drug categories to the sepsis disease process.
Learning Activity : In a group of 3-4 students. each student selects one of the follow body components
- Systemic blood vessels
- Cardiac function
- Intravascular blood volume
- Immune system
After selecting one of the above body components, each student is to post how they anticipate they would be affected in someone suffering from severe sepsis. At this point in time, it is expected that students will use general descriptions when identifying possible changes. Students are not expected to go into explicit detail. For example, it is not expected that if discussing the immune system, that students identify specific immune cells that may be affected.
Learning Outcome #2: Each student will correctly identify the category a drug belongs to when given a drug, or vice-versa. All drugs and drug categories tested will taken from the drug list located on moodle.
Learning Activity 1: Each student will have access to an online matching game that includes each drug and drug category. Students will be able to attempt the matching game as many times as they like. Their overall scores and total time will tracked as to allow them to compare each attempt. The drugs questioned will be randomized from the overall list.
