Teaching Philosophy and Approach Section B C. Michael White, Pharm.D., FCP, FCCP Professor of Pharmacy University of Connecticut “Some people talk in their sleep. Lecturers talk while other people sleep.” – Albert Camus The pharmacy profession entrusts me to train competent and compassionate future pharmacists and to continue the training of current pharmacists. Pharmacists of yesteryear such as Albert White and Henry Palmer have demonstrated to me through their actions what an awesome responsibility that is. Their love and dedication for their profession was passed down to me and I have a responsibility to pharmacists of the past like them and to the pharmacists of tomorrow to bestow drug knowledge while also instilling a sense of pride in the profession and a real personal concern for patient care. As such, I believe that I need to be a teacher, facilitator, and leader. The important tenets of didactic and experiential teaching to which I ascribe are delineated below. As you read the tenets of my pedagogical approach, I hope you will appreciate that I did not just stumble upon this philosophy and approach. I started with a strong baseline teaching approach (emulated from the professors that impacted me such as Ronald Gailey and Robert Hamilton) and then continued to refine it over the years. Discussions with other instructors, reading books on leadership and teaching, and through self assessment I have identified some weaknesses and attempted to correct them by trying some new things. However, the biggest changes in my teaching have arisen from discussion that I have had with the students about what instructors they love, what they love about them, what are the things that I do well, and what I could do to improve my pedagogy. This open exchange of ideas has been the primary driver of teaching improvement. Based on this feedback and self-assessment I developed Pharmacist Interactive Clinical Cases (PICCs). This learning platform seems especially well suited to demonstrating the use of drug knowledge in the simulated care of the patient. With this case approach, I have first used study methodology to evaluate instructional effectiveness. Overall, the PICCs cases rated much higher amongst pharmacy students than standard case based teaching formats. Didactic Teaching: I believe that there are 5 qualities that a teacher needs to have to underpin optimal didactic pedagogy. I have tried to incorporate these in my teaching wherever possible. 1. Pragmatic: To use the time allocated in a manner that optimizes the learning experience. By starting with the time allocated to a certain topic and then devising a the lecture content, I can determine the most important topics to be covered and allow time to enrich the content with examples and cases, empowering the students to learn and to utilize the information in their professional lives, and to prevent boredom that sucks out student’s life force over the course of the class period. I think that teachers get into trouble when they are given a topic and think that it is a mandate that they need to cover 5 hours of material in 3 hours. This stifles creativity, creates frustration amongst students, and prevents optimal student learning. 2. Enriching: To provide not only the content but to provide context. Context is important because it helps students see how the knowledge can be learned, understood, and used in their professional lives. A Chinese Proverb states a learning philosophy: “Tell me and I will forget, show me and I may remember, involve me and I will understand.” 3. Empowering: Even if students understand a concept and know how it can be used in patient care, that doesn’t assure that they will use that information in that manner in their professional lives. Students, like most everyone, need to be inspired to act for the betterment of their patients. To create a caring health professional, real life examples of medical care gone wrong due to a lack of involvement and the impact of a health professional on a patient’s life really does motivate students in a positive way. 4. Not Boring: The best content and the snappiest slides will not achieve optimal knowledge attainment if the students are bored. The use of enrichment to help understanding and involvement of the students in the learning process as well as empowering students are important techniques to stave off boredom. However, the use of humor dispersed sparingly throughout the class period that is loosely or integrally related to the topic material not only stimulates interest but also makes the faculty person seem more approachable and human. If done too much, it can causes a loss of student focus and distracts from learning. 5. In Control: While some measure of lightheartedness in class is valuable and student perception that it is ok to ask questions is valuable, the majority of students should not be disadvantaged from learning due to disruptive students. Acceptable student conduct needs to be explicitly spelled out and the faculty member needs to assure that a single student does not have the capacity to derail the learning of the majority. I am sure that at this point most people reading this are thinking about the poorer quality student or the class clown and do occur. However, advanced or truly gifted students can also derail learning by incessantly asking questions that while delivered at a high level and are not relevant to vast majority of students. In both circumstances, the faculty person needs to communicate with the student out of class and explain what the concern is and how to remedy it. For example, the advanced students should know that you would be happy to answer these questions out of class and would enjoy the discussion but the problem associated with having a two person conversation in front of a class of 100 students given dense learning content. Experiential Teaching: Similarly, I believe that an optimal experiential rotation is underpinned by 4 main qualities. I try to incorporate these qualities into my experiential rotations every month. 1. Assuring: Students need to achieve a standard level of clinical knowledge before initiating patient contact. I believe that students should be intensively trained and their knowledge assessed for the first 2 days of the rotation before they are allowed to start interacting with other health professionals. A third day can be added if needed. If students do not have adequate baseline knowledge, they have nothing to contribute to the healthcare team initially. This means that they run the risk of being made an outsider for the entire month even when they catch on and have something to contribute. By assuring the healthcare team that only well trained students are on rounds, members of the healthcare team are more likely to incorporate students into the team earlier and more fully so students can have the optimal experience. 2. Empowering: Making students go into the patient’s room and introduce themselves and let the patient and their family know they will be looking at the patient’s drugs to prevent drug interaction, assure optimal dosing, and to help in drug selection is a wonderful technique to help students accept ownership for the patient’s health. In afternoon discussions, reinforcing that the patients they are presenting are real people and that they are in need of good pharmaceutical care to help the student accept personal responsibility for the patient. If a student can see the patient as a person rather than a case or a project than you do not have to motivate them, just guide them. 3. Facilitative: Students need to be able to practice their craft. If their rotation preceptor is with them all the time and is taking the lead, the student does not get to feel the responsibility for direct patient care. They know that their responses will be filtered through another person which waters down their experience. By having students meet intensively early on to assess knowledge competency, shadowing the students on rounds for the first 5 rounding days (more if needed), and then giving them the freedom to round on their own for the rest of the rotation seems to be a good approach. By meeting daily to discuss all patients before the end of the day, students can discuss their patients and try out their potential interventions to see if they should be made before going on rounds. I call this process facilitative independence. 4. Intense to the End: The end of a rotation can create a lull in learning and growth. The students can extract chart information with greater ease, they know what is expected with patient presentations during preceptor discussions, and they see the end of the rotation coming. Over the course of the month, students have been exposed to new drugs, new knowledge about these drugs, and new approaches to treating patients but there needs to be an impetus for students to take this knowledge and incorporate it into their long term memory. Only then can the knowledge be applied to future patients. Incorporating an end of rotation oral final exam that focused on the drug knowledge that should have been attained helps meet the aforementioned goals. Having students deliver a high quality formal presentation to the faculty on site, residents, and fellows also help students develop confidence in their ability to teach and enhances their drug knowledge. By scheduling the presentations towards the end of the rotation, students have an activity to work at that can also help prevent the end of rotation lull. Teaching Goals and Awards Section C C.

Michael White, Pharm.D., FCP, FCCP Professor of Pharmacy University of Connecticut 02.07.11 Student Evaluations of Teaching are given for every course where a faculty member teaches more than 6 hours of content and are on a 10 point scale with higher scores associated with better perception of teaching. For every course evaluated, my Student Evaluation of Teaching Scores were above the departmental average, except one. In the one instance where my SET score was at the average (Spring 2009), this was the only time my name was hand written on the SET form, not mechanically imprinted. I am not sure if the form was ascribed to me in error. My average score over all years is 9.300.45 versus the departmental average of 8.310.43, p<0.0001.

Michael White, Pharm.D., FCP, FCCP Professor of Pharmacy University of Connecticut Student Evaluations of Precepting (SEP) scores are the average score on a scale of 0-5 points from students on experiential rotations (Advanced Practice Pharmacy Experiences). Of the 16 years where I had SEP scores, my SEP scores fell below the departmental average in two of the years (2006 and 2007). At that time I became the Director of the UCONN/Hartford Hospital EPC and increased scholarly time to 70-80% (from 40% previously) with no reduction in the number of students I took. I needed to dramatically reduce the time I spent with rotational students and utilize my research fellows in a more substantive way, which took a few months (spanning two academic years) to figure out. I am very pleased that since that time, I have created the right experience and am again providing an above average experience. Since 2006 I am only doing half of the normal rotational teaching and half the credit goes to the fellows that coprecept these experiences. 1996 1997 1998 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Dr White SEP Scores 4.87 4.93 4.75 4.56 4.93 4.73 4.92 4.6 4.84 4.36 4.06 4.9 4.75 4.8 4.85 4.87 Dept Avg Scores 4.3 4.5 4.4 4.5 4.3 4.2 4.4 4.45 4.72 4.58 4.62 4.7 4.7 4.58 4.56 4.74 Non-Research Symposia/CE Programs Section G C.

Michael White, Pharm.D., FCP, FCCP Professor of Pharmacy University of Connecticut In 2006 I developed a new approach to teach case based information called Pharmacist Interactive Clinical Cases. This approach was designed to be more interactive, clinically relevant, and fun to complete. I piloted the cases on experiential rotation students and gathered data on their perceptions via a survey tool. I used it in Therapeutics 254 in Spring 2007 and also administered a survey asking for student perceptions. Students in both surveys rated the PICCs surveys much higher than traditional case based learning approaches. The manuscript summarizing these findings is given in the following attachment. Book Chapters and Review Articles of Note Section I C. Michael White, Pharm.D., FCP, FCCP Professor of Pharmacy University of Connecticut Book chapters and review articles are important teaching modalities for pharmacists and students. By summarizing the current literature and presenting in a way that empowers and engages the reader, effective distance learning occurs. Of particular note, I have coauthored book chapters in Applied Therapeutics and the Pharmacotherapy SelfAssessment Program which are high visibility and high impact books. Several of my review articles in the Annals of Pharmacotherapy or US Pharmacist have been given accompanying CE questions.
