Incorporating Interprofessional Education Into a Graduate Nurse Practitioner Pharmacotherapeutics Course with a Pharmacist Educator

by Emma Stoflet, PharmD, BCPS, Robin Beeman, PhD, RN, Richard L. Berg, MS, Kathrine Barnes, MS, MPH, CPH, Sara Griesbach, PharmD, BCPS, BCACP, James Lokken, PharmD, MS, Med, Jennifer Grimm, PharmD, BCPS 

"Background: Limited literature exists on the value of a pharmacist co- educator in Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) didactic education.
Purpose: Incorporate a pharmacist co-educator into a DNP pharmacotherapeutics course to improve the education of DNP students.
Method: A pharmacist and nurse practitioner co-taught a DNP pharmacotherapeutics course. At course completion, students received an evaluation form. Mean scores on the final evaluations from the previous three years were combined and compared with the mean score for each response item post-implementation of the pharmacist co-educator. Thematic analysis was conducted on open-comment responses in the evaluation.
Discussion: All mean final evaluation scores were improved in the interprofessional education (IPE) semester with many items reaching statistical significance. Thematic analysis indicated a positive shift in student perception of the course.
Conclusions: Implementation of interprofessional education (IPE) in a DNP pharmacotherapeutics course may enhance learning and promote collaboration among early-career DNPs and pharmacists."
