Comments
We are thinking of trying this with our M2s Pharm course. We are thinking it will do all the educational objectives just at a more basic level. This would be part of a TBL which would give the students an opportunity to discuss compliance issues. We are wondering about assigning students simulation identities, i.e., 37 year old, woman, triathlete, so that they would have to think about what compliance issues the patient might have. Any ideas on how to make this an effective activity?
